How Kevin Schade compares to Tottenham attackers amid new transfer developments
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank could turn to his former club, Brentford, for a new attacking recruit.
Tottenham tried to hijack Bryan Mbeumo’s move to Manchester United, to reunite Frank with his star attacker in North London.
That move failed, but the Spurs boss could turn to another star from his old employers to complement the options in his squad.
Kevin Schade is another winger that the Tottenham boss developed, and he could make the move to the Europa League champions.
Tottenham monitoring Kevin Schade ahead of potential Brentford swoop
Tottenham still need attacking recruits, as Frank bolsters his squad to try and compete for the highest honours.
Florian Plettenberg reported on 10 October that Spurs are monitoring the German ahead of a potential move in the summer of 2026.
He stated that the 23-year-old is contracted to the Bees until 2028, but the Lilywhites have shown their interest.
How does Schade compare to current Tottenham stars?
Schade can play from the left or lead the line, and he could offer Spurs something which they do not currently possess.
Last season, he ended up with 11 goals and two assists, one more contribution than Dominic Solanke, with only Brennan Johnson being the only remaining N17 star to beat Schade’s tally in the division.
The German has scored one goal in the league so far this season, which matches the figures of Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus.
However, Richarlison and Johnson both have more strikes in the competition, the Brazilian has three, and the Welsh international has two goals.
Schade is averaging 1.4 shots per game, which is only beaten by Richarlison and Kudus among Spurs’ attackers.
The Bees ace averages 0.9 key passes per 90 minutes, a figure which only Kudus can better from Frank’s current options.
Schade’s numbers are encouraging, and playing alongside better players in North London should only increase them, so it is a move that makes sense for Frank and Co.
The fact that he has previously worked with Frank and he is keen to reunite with him, suggests that the boss knows exactly where he fits in the team.
