Thomas Frank, who has just taken over the reins at Tottenham, has been given budgets to correct what must be one of the saddest Tottenham squads of all time. The Premier League season ended in the bottom place that was not relegated. The Champions League game was saved by the club’s first trophy in many years by winning the Europa League final against Manchester United.
Tottenham have set their sights on one of the Premier League’s big revs this season.

Tottenham go all-in for Semenyo
Tottenham have decided to go Antoine Semenyo and are willing to put around £65 million on the table to secure the Bournemouth striker. The Ghanaian international, who has just had his best Premier League season, has become the London club’s top priority to bolster their attack ahead of the upcoming season.
Semenyo has been a key player in Bournemouth’s impressive season, establishing himself as one of the league’s most unpredictable wingers. With 13 goals and 7 assists in 42 games, the 25-year-old not only helped the team to a place in the top half of the table, but also increased his market value to levels that are now attracting interest from the big clubs.
Tottenham’s intention is clear: they want to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the futures of Richarlison and Timo Werner, and provide an attacking profile that can bring goals, speed and creativity from the wings. Semenyo’s flexibility – he can play multiple positions in attack, which suits any manager well.
Bournemouth make a tough demand
However, the transition will not be easy. Bournemouth are in no hurry to sell and consider the player to be a mainstay of the team, so they will not negotiate below the desired amount. Tottenham are nevertheless optimistic and hope to complete the deal soon, although they are aware that other clubs are also keeping an eye on the situation.
With this move, Tottenham show that they still have big ambitions in the transfer market, and are betting big on a player who has shown that he is ready for a career step up.
