Tottenham Hotspur confirm first transfer deal of the Thomas Frank era
Tottenham Hotspur have wasted no time backing new head coach Thomas Frank, with the club confirming their first signing of the summer as the Dane begins to shape his squad.
Tottenham Hotspur’s focus over the past few days has been on securing a replacement for Ange Postecoglou, following his departure on Friday, 6 June.
Spurs have since secured the services of former Brentford manager Thomas Frank on a three-year deal, which should now see their attention turn to matters on the pitch, as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The Danish manager has already begun work and has now wrapped up his first signing of the summer window for the north London club.
Tottenham sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich for £29.6m
On their official website, Tottenham Hotspur have announced that they have completed the signing of French youngster Mathys Tel, following his winter loan move back in January.
An initial fee of £45 million was included as an option to buy the winger permanently, but Spurs have instead negotiated a cut-price deal for the player.
It is reported that Tel has joined Tottenham for £29.6 million from Bayern Munich on a long-term deal that is expected to keep the 20-year-old at Hotspur Way for six years.
Spurs transfer plans continue with Thomas Frank at the helm
Tel now joins Kevin Danso as Spurs’ second signing of the summer window, after it was announced earlier this month that Spurs have paid the £21 million obligation-to-buy fee for Danso.
The Lilywhites’ business is not expected to stop here, as reports continue to link them with other transfer targets, including Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford, who is coming off his best season yet in the Premier League after scoring 20 goals last campaign.
| Bryan Mbeumo Stats (Premier League 2024-25) | |
|---|---|
| Appearances: | 38 |
| Goals: | 20 |
| Expected goals (xG): | 12.26 |
| Scoring frequency: | 171min |
| Assists: | 7 |
| Big chances created: | 17 |
| Successful dribbles: | 1.4 (53%) |
It is reported that Spurs have submitted a £70 million bid for Mbeumo, but they still have to rival Manchester United for the player’s signature, with reports stating that Mbeumo has greenlit a move to Old Trafford.
It will be interesting to see who else Thomas Frank brings in before the summer window closes, as reports suggest he is expected to have significant funds to spend.
