Tottenham Hotspur is hoping to correct the mistakes of failing this season in the Premier League.
Despite winning the Europa League, it was Lilywhites’ reserved league position that spelled out the end of Ange Postecoglou in north London, and was fired for the next two years of roles.
Daniel Levy wasted no time appointing Thomas Frank from fellow top flight side Brentford, but it’s important that Dane is handed over to change his next campaign.
Along with players currently featured in the book, it needs to be added in the current window, helping the 51-year-old seek success during his term.
The work is being done behind the scenes, and is now supporting new managers in the market.
Latest on Spurs Hunting for a New Signature this Summer
Recently, the Spurs appeared to be stepping up their efforts to land Bournemouth star Antoine Semeño this summer.
He is not the only attacker against their radar. There are OGC lovely striker Evan Speculation and another option under consideration ahead of Frank’s debut campaign.
But another name has entered the mix. One Spanish outlet claims that Lily White has serious interest in Boca Junior striker Miguel Melentiel’s move.
The report claims that the 29-year-old agent is aware of his interest in the forward after winning an incredible solo effort against German Champions Bayern Munich at the ongoing Club World Cup.
He also said that while no formal offers have been made, the hierarchy is monitoring the movements of the Uruguayans, who have scored 43 goals in the last three campaigns.
Why is Spurs’ latest target likely to be Frank’s answer to gyoker?
CP striker Viktor Gyokeres’ spitting is one of the most popular talents throughout the summer’s windows, aiming to almost certainly retain the Portuguese outfit ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Various aspects of the world have been promoted in the 27-year-old’s signature move, and, of course, have been given a 54 goal record in 52 outings this season.
Manchester United looked like the most likely destination given their previous stint under Reuben Amorim, but now it appears that the Swedes are looking for a move to join North London rivals Arsenal.
Such a move is likely to pass the Mikel Arteta side to an offensive threat next season, and the Spurs will have to make the move to land this window on their own talisman.
According to FBREF, Frank was able to land his own version of Gyoker in the form of Melentiel in the form of Melentiel.
Comparing the statistics for each of the pair, the Uruguayans hope to match or get any better with the Swedes in a variety of important areas and become a wise addition to Lily White this summer.
Labeled “Incredible” by journalist Johannes Skiva, Melentiel matched the sportster with goals per target shot, but improved him for target-on accuracy.

He also has the ability to complete more progressive passes, complete more passes in the final third, and provide people around him rather than relying on his teammates.
The Boca’s star talent is further demonstrated in his take-on success, demonstrating his desire to reach the final third and move the ball forward at every opportunity.
It’s unclear how much the 29-year-old trade will cost this summer, but it’s clear that there are all the tools needed to thrive in the Premier League.
If he can add more goals to his game in North London, he will be a great option for Lily White in their quest to be competitive in the next campaign in Europe and England.
