Tottenham’s dream XI with Thomas Frank completing stunning £115m swoop

Spurs are making big moves under Thomas Frank in the market as they look to make a big impact in the 2025-26 Premier League season and Champions League, with two major deals wrapped up

Tottenham are really moving through the gears in this transfer window after a quiet start – wrapping up a deal for £55m West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus and closing in on a move for £60m Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White.

Thomas Frank is making some big moves in the market following his arrival from Brentford as he looks to revamp the team’s attack following their 17th placed finish last season.

Spurs underachieved in the Premier League under predecessor Ange Postecoglou despite winning the Europa League, which makes them a more attractive option to players after qualifying for Champions League football.

And having secured passage to Europe’s top competition, the north London side have now sealed four permanent transfers as they look to help Frank hit the ground running.

With that in mind, Mirror Football has taken a look at how Frank could line-up with his new signings and further potential targets this coming season.

Goalkeeper and defence is quite straight-forward and in theory should pick itself. Vicario starts in goal and it doesn’t look like Spurs are looking to displace him. Frank has previously stated how much he admires Pedro Porro, so he should be the first choice right-back.

At centre-back, Cristian Romero and Mickey van de Ven are the undisputed partnership – so long as the former doesn’t join Atletico Madrid amid growing links – with Destiny Udogie at left-back.

Midfield is where is gets much trickier for the Danish manager as he’ll have plenty of options to play around with. Spurs fans have been crying out for a new No 6 and Adam Wharton has been linked, but for now he might prefer to play with the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall for his midfield pivot. Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr represent solid back-up options.

Going forwards, Kudus will be hoping to start on that right flank for Spurs, despite competition with Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski.

Kulusevski can also play in the No 10 role, but Gibbs-White should get the nod in that position – though James Maddison also represents a quality option there too. Overall, Frank has plenty of options to pick in the attacking areas, as Kudus can also operate behind the striker.

On the left, Frank has captain Son Heung-min, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel to choose from, though it could be the latter who starts on the left due to his explosive pace and flair.

In attack, Spurs have been linked with a £50m move for Frank’s old Brentford forward Yoane Wissa and should the club get that deal over the line, you would wager that the new coach will favour him over Dominic Solanke.

Potential Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bergvall; Gibbs-White; Kudus, Tel; Wissa
