Tottenham Hotspur have made a good start to the season under manager Thomas Frank and could look to become a familiar team to Premier League fans.
Tottenham aim to get off to a good start in the Premier League
International breaks are always a frustrating time for supporters looking forward to their club’s return. However, the Lilywhites will look back positively on their strong start, which saw them rise to third place in the top flight.
Tactical tweaks and a new threat from set-pieces have made Tottenham a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League, but they will need to flip a switch to meet the challenge of facing Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Everton and Chelsea in the coming weeks.
Tottenham have been the center of takeover interest from the likes of tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Ehrlich, but are unlikely to be put up for sale, and a £100m cash injection from the Lewis family will give them further financial flexibility going forward.
It remains to be seen whether this investment will be channeled towards the January slot. Spurs are preparing a £26m bid for Vasco da Gama star Ryan, according to reports, suggesting they are scouting for talent around the world to boost their bid for Champions League qualification.
Chelsea, Barcelona and Aston Villa are among his long list of fans, but Tottenham’s project remains as attractive as ever for potential recruits.
Honestly, Spurs have averaged nearly two points per game since Frank took over from Ange Postecoglou, and the sky is the limit if the team continues this impressive run.

Still, there is a long way to go and the north Londoner may need help to ensure he secures pole position and capitalizes on the interest in the Danish manager’s favorite.
Tottenham want to sign Kevin Shade
According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham are keeping an eye on Brentford attacker Kevin Shade and could look to play for him, although a move is likely to take place in the summer of 2026.
Plettenberg said the winger was a “one to watch” this season as his contract expires in less than three years.
The German international has scored one goal in eight games this season, contributing to a total of 15 goals and five assists in 82 games for the Bees.
.
He brought Schade to the G-Tech Community Stadium from Freiburg in 2023, hailed as ‘top class’ by Franck, and his faith has been rewarded, with the 23-year-old establishing himself as a force primarily on the left.
According to Fotmob, the Potsdam-born man has created five chances and completed three crosses in the Premier League this season, shining brightly in a Brentford side struggling for momentum under manager Keith Andrews.
In any case, he could be ready to move beyond the capital, but Tottenham will have to fend off competition from the likes of Borussia Dortmund for his signature.
