Tottenham’s dream XI under Frank as Kudus and Gibbs-White joined by £50m gem
Tottenham are set to deal a huge blow to Nottingham Forest with the expected arrival of Morgan Gibbs-White.
After Thomas Frank’s appointment earlier in the summer, Spurs’ transfer window has accelerated with Mohammed Kudus already arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
As Tottenham look to rebuild this summer, big names such as Son Heung-min could make way.
With more new signings being linked, Tottenham News has drawn up what could be a dream starting XI come the start of the new campaign.
Tottenham can deal Forest another blow with Wissa signing
Tottenham already look set to sign Gibbs-White from Forest, and they can now sign their top target Yoane Wissa.
The East Midlands club tried to sign Wissa in January but had a £25million bid knocked back.
With Brentford reportedly valuing the forward at £50million, Spurs would have the upper hand should Frank raid his former club.
Most of the onus fell on Dominic Solanke to lead the line last season, and the striker ultimately struggled in his first season in North London.
Solanke struggled through injury, and not only can Wissa ease the issue, but he could also add some much-needed competition.
Son to make way in attack
At 33, Son is beginning to slow down and struggle with injuries.
Therefore, Son could make way for Mathys Tel next season, with the latter arriving on a permanent deal.
The introduction of Tel, Kudus and Gibbs-White to Tottenham’s attack has made Son’s future at the club uncertain.
Tel was a breath of fresh air to Spurs last season and added some flair to a team lacking any sort of inspiration in the league.
New signing Kudus can play on the left or the right, but prefers to come in from the right, something Graham Potter didn’t trust the Ghanaian to do last season.
Kyle Walker-Pieters and Hayden Hackney to join Spurs
Tottenham have been linked with a move to bring Walker-Peters back to North London this summer.
The defender has impressed after leaving the Lilywhites and is available as a free agent this summer after leaving Southampton.
| Matches | Starts | Goals | Assists | Clean Sheets | Goals Conceded |
| 33 | 33 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 68 |
Right-back is a position of concern for Farke, with Tottenham relying on makeshift wing-backs last season after a series of injuries.
Spurs could also bring in Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough this summer, with that a realistic possibility to help strengthen in holding midfield.
The box-to-box midfielder would work perfectly alongside Lucas Bergvall and will be able to connect the dots between defence and attack quickly.
