Tottenham Hotspur is the one who has fallen below the expectations set for them in the Premier League in recent years, as seen in their final campaign.
Lily White finished just 17th in the year, only 1st in the relegation zone and after losing 22 games he became the first to survive in the division.
As a result, Ange Postecoglou lost his job, and Thomas Frank The Man reshapes the league based on European victory.
Dane has already beented no time in his role in North London, targeting countless players who will help improve the club’s current situation.
The addition of the first team has not yet been agreed, but work is being done behind the scenes to catapult the sides to increase success in 2025/26.
Latest new additions on Spurs hunting this summer
Mohammed Kudus has been a solid player on the radar recently, making a £50 million offer to the West Ham United star, but the offer was quickly denied.
Ghanaians are said to want the window to move to join Frank’s men, and athletic David Ornstein has since revealed that a £505 million agreement is being stricken at the age of 24.
However, despite interest in the former Ajax star, Southampton star Tyler once again diling in their vision, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Pletztenberg.
He claims that Lily White approached the 19-year-old star despite suffering a relegation to the championship with the Saints last season.
He also claims Nottingham Forest and West Ham are other teams defending the teenage star tab, which could be available for £55 million this summer.
Why Spurs’ £55 million target could become a greater talent than Kudus
Over the past few months, Spurs have shown the threat of their owned attacks, registering 64 goals in 38 leagues last season.
Brennan Johnson scored 18 goals in all competitions, including the Europa League final, and then finished the year as the club’s top goals scorer to end the club’s 17 year drought.
Other players like Dominic Solanke and James Maddison have also been able to achieve double digits, highlighting the depths that Frank currently has at his disposal.
However, such depth is clearly not sufficient. Over the past few weeks, especially considering rumors about Kudus’ movements and Diling’s movements.
Both represent impressive options for Dane, but given the nature of the fees being advertised for each player’s signature, it’s important that they land on the right thing during the offseason.
Comparing each statistic from the last Premier League, the Saint youth highlights why he is a better addition despite his relegation.
Labeled “Incredible” by former boss Ivan Juric, Diving was able to register higher shot-on-target accuracy with the hammer star on the target to match the targeted goal.

He also has the tools to register more progressive passes per 90, with more passes that advance to the final third, then provide some of the aforementioned talent with additional opportunities before the goal.
This is not the end of the teenager’s advantage, but produces a higher tally of Carrie in the final third, drawing more fouls.
£55 million may seem to be at a great risk for such a young talent, but despite appearing for the side that has fallen far below the expectations set in 2024/25, he already shows he can thrive.
Kudus cannot be denied that he represents a good pickup either, but in the end, Dibing already surpasses him and has a tool that develops even more rapidly given his soft age.
