Tottenham Hotspur’s long-awaited trophy is finally coming to the end of this season, but the 2025/26 campaign will soon be attracting attention and will need to work to maintain success.

Ange Postecoglou led Lily White to a victory in the Europa League, but it wasn’t enough to save his job in North London as Daniel Levy released the Australians of his duties.

He then appointed Thomas Frank and handed over the responsibility to build on European victory to Dane, becoming a competitive Premier League outfit.

He needs to start his life at the club to prove that the owner makes the right decision when choosing a change.

However, if he succeeds in the role, he needs support within the current transfer window and needs to hand him the platform for success during his first season at the helm.

Latest new additions on Spurs hunting this summer

Over the past few days, Lyon star Georges Micautatze has emerged as a key target for the Spurs, and the club is expected to offer to advance the Georgian dynasty after relegation to League Two.

Rodrigo Muniz is another player in this window, but Fulham is asking for £50 million from the Brazilian forward, which costs a considerable amount of money during the offseason.

However, if any player moves to North London, according to Givemesport, Xavi Simons should provide opportunities in the last third as Xavi Simons visually watch the players.

Their report says the RB Leipzig star claims to be eager to move this window into the Premier League, while the German outfit is demanding fees in the £60 million region to join Starman.

The Lily White also has registered strong interest at the 22-year-old, who was able to register 10 goals and seven assists in the campaign, and has already been contacted as the North Londoner has “updated” the “Simons” situation with his representative.

Why the Spurs’ £60m goal will be a better signing than eze

Crystal Palace star Ebeki Eze has always been on the Spurs radar for the past few years, but has not been able to complete the transaction due to his signature.

This window is still the same. Frank is already targeting England International and is considering moving to take the star to North London.

After winning the campaign and securing the Eagles’ first major trophy against Wembley’s Manchester City, his stock is definitely high.

However, he currently has a £68 million release clause on his contract, but North London rival Arsenal also took part in the race, so he could face great pressure to land his services.

As a result, Lily White’s hierarchy should shift attention to Simons’ movement, a better option for this window outfit, as Dutch International is.

He offers young and inexpensive options to the side, but when comparing the numbers for each of the 2024/25 pairs, he has also been better than him in key areas.

Labeled “exceptional” by Optajohan, Simons completed more passes he attempted and posted more progressive passes per 90 people.

The youngster also stars in ball carry, registering nearly twice as many carry in the final third of every 90 people, indicating his desire to move forward at any time.

Given his age, price tag and the differences in numbers produced, the contract with Simons should be a simple one in this window, offering Frank the elite level talent he covets within the last third.

It’s an expensive addition to the class, but ultimately it’s something the club needs to reach the next level during Dane’s tenure at the club.

I don’t deny that Eze is a very talented player, but it’s clear that more expensive fees tend to be promoted for English stars, and that Simons tends to make this window a better option afterwards.
