Thomas Frank Tight-Lipped on Tottenham Hotspur's Transfer Plans

Son Heung-min Stays for Now as Thomas Frank Hints at More Signings

Thomas Frank isn’t one for transfer window theatrics. The new Tottenham Hotspur manager has made it clear: when it comes to strengthening his squad, he prefers action over headlines.

Speaking to reporters ahead of Spurs’ highly anticipated North London Derby against Arsenal in Hong Kong, Frank was measured and intentional, carefully choosing what to share and what to keep under wraps.

“We’re out there,” Frank said, acknowledging Spurs' activity in the transfer market. “But I’d rather keep those conversations private.” He did confirm the Lilywhites’ ongoing efforts to explore additions, while also expressing satisfaction with the current group.

“I’m happy with the squad. We’ve brought in a top player in Mohammed Kudus, and he’s already starting to show what he’s about.”

Kudus, the £55 million acquisition from West Ham, headlines a summer of early and strategic business for Spurs. The north London side has also added Lens defender Kevin Danso, confirmed Bayern Munich prospect Mathys Tel as a permanent signing, and Japanese youngster Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale.

Frank’s early recruitment signals a push for depth, a more dynamic and versatile side heading into the new campaign.

One name Frank did not elaborate on was Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White. Spurs had shown concrete interest, but talks reportedly stalled, with the midfielder choosing to commit his future to Forest. “We’re always discussing transfers,” Frank reiterated. “That doesn’t stop just because we’ve done business.”

Of course, it’s not just potential arrivals that are fuelling headlines. The uncertainty surrounding club captain Son Heung-min continues to linger.

Son Heung-min's future at Spurs continues to be a topic of discussion.

The South Korean star, whose contract enters its final year, has attracted interest from abroad—including reported offers from Saudi Arabia and the MLS. Yet Frank was quick to downplay speculation.

“Sonny is here, and I’m happy for that,” he said plainly. “He’s training well, he played the last two games. Right now, he’s a Tottenham player, and that’s where my focus is.”

It’s a tactful response to what could become a complicated scenario. Son remains vital to Spurs, not just on the pitch, but commercially, especially during the club’s current Asia Tour.

Any move before its conclusion would undoubtedly disrupt both team chemistry and fan engagement. After the clash with Arsenal in Hong Kong, Spurs are set to face Newcastle in Seoul, Son’s homecoming match, and arguably the emotional centrepiece of the tour.

For now, Thomas Frank continues to strike a balance between pragmatism and ambition. He’s shown he's not afraid to act decisively in the market, but he's equally careful not to let noise distract from the work ahead.

Spurs fans may not be getting a headline-grabbing saga every day, but under Frank, they may finally get something more valuable: stability with a plan.
