Sporting director Fabio Paratici has said Spurs 'need more specialisation' among their backroom personnel - the process is well underway

Thomas Frank examined the offensive weapons in the armoury for Tottenham.

ENFIELD, England -- Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank has said that the "unusual" exit of former chairman Daniel Levy and the recent high turnover of senior club staff has not affected his players as "they're in their own little bubble."

Chelsea have entered the race to sign in-demand Porto star who is also linked with several Premier League clubs.

Newcastle are in the market to bolster their midfield ranks in 2026, given they sold Sean Longstaff and did not bring in a replacement, leaving Eddie Howe with a gap to fill. Smit is a player the Magpies are doing work on, and they like what they have seen thus far.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank compared Xavi Simons to Liverpool's Florian Wirtz as the playmakers continue to struggle for form since swapping the Bundesliga for the Premier League in the summer.

The new appointee is an American aviation executive who will join as the fifth member of Spurs’ new-look board.

The difference in Spurs’ results and performances with and without their influential captain is stark - and the numbers certainly back it up
