Thomas Frank reveals Tottenham’s next transfer plans after Conor Gallagher arrival

Thomas Frank has moved quickly to set the tone after Tottenham Hotspur secured Conor Gallagher, with the head coach already pointing towards the next area demanding attention as the winter transfer window continues to tick on.

Tottenham Hotspur cannot feel their work in the winter window is done after the £35 million signing of Conor Gallagher.

The midfielder is, of course, a shrewd addition to Thomas Frank’s side given his Premier League experience, versatility and leadership qualities.

However, Spurs still have pressing issues in other areas of the pitch, particularly in attack, where injuries have hit the squad.

Richarlison became the latest player to be sidelined for an extended period and joins the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison on the bench.

That surely leaves Spurs light in attack, with a recovering Dominic Solanke, Mathys Tel, Wilson Odobert and Kolo Muani left as wide and central forward options.

Speaking via official Tottenham channels, Thomas Frank was asked whether further attacking reinforcements are now required, with the Dane outlining the club’s current thinking and wider transfer approach.

“Yeah, it is what it is. We need to deal with what we have, but of course it is, let me put it this way, Richarlison and Kudus brought a little bit more experience and quality on the pitch than we were able to do there.

“But that is what it is. We are in the market, as I said many times, to see if we can improve the squad. But it needs to be something that we improve the squad, short and long term. It needs to be that decision.

“It cannot only be for the next four months. We need to think bigger picture as well. But of course we know that we have a few offensive players down in that aspect.”

Spurs still exploring further additions

Indeed, while the forward area remains crucial, Tottenham are still expecting the addition of Souza from Santos.

Spurs are understood to have agreed a fee with the Brazilian side for the 19-year-old, who has not featured for the South American club since December, despite Santos returning to action recently, having played the second match of their new season yesterday.

That could hint at a potential move to north London, with it having been revealed that the Souza deal could be announced this week.
