Tottenham need to bring in reinforcements in the summer if they want to start next season on a positive note. The Europa League success must act as a springboard for the Lilywhites to force a massive squad overhaul and bring in new players that could instantly elevate the quality of the squad. Some of the current players managed to help the club achieve the unthinkable last month, but they are not good enough to play a crucial part under Thomas Frank.

All the eyes will be on Daniel Levy now that the managerial situation at N17 is also sorted out. The Spurs chairman needs to be proactive in the summer and bring in reinforcements quickly. With pre-season just on the horizon, the Lilywhites are already playing catch-up in the transfer market.

There is no time to be complacent as the North London club aims to build on the Europa League success. One of the main reasons why Ange Postecoglou got the sack earlier this month was due to the inconsistent performances put in by some of the key attacking players. Now is the time for the club to back Thomas Frank and bring in new attackers for next season.

Tottenham have enough players in James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, and Dejan Kulusevski that could play the number ten position for Thomas Frank. But the club needs an upgrade on left-winger Heung-Min Son. The 32-year-old’s performances have steadily declined in recent seasons and he is also facing an uncertain future at N17. So, it is best for Daniel Levy to bring in a quality replacement for next season.

It was reported earlier that Spurs were interested in signing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig in the summer. The Lilywhites are long-term admirers of him and want to bring him to N17 in the coming weeks. Now, the fans have received yet another update on the transfer saga involving the Dutchman. Speaking on the Market Madness podcast (via GiveMeSport), Ben Jacobs said,

“You have Tottenham, who could be one to watch as well. They’re going to be looking for a right-sided attacker first, but don’t rule out this kind of profile for them as well. I can only tell you about Spurs, who have made an active enquiry to just understand the desire on the player’s side and also the price. Nothing is advanced at this point, and it might be the kind of deal that happens a little bit later in the window.”

Ben Jacobs has suggested that Tottenham are one of the clubs interested in signing Xavi Simons in the summer. The reliable journalist added that the Lilywhites have also made approaches in recent weeks to know whether the RB Leipzig star would be open to the move. Jacobs also suggests that the deal is not yet ‘advanced’ and fans can expect the North London club to initiate concrete talks later in the transfer window.

Valued at £60m, the Dutchman will not come cheap. But if he performs as expected, it could prove to be a snip in the long run.

It remains to be seen how Daniel Levy goes about his business in the coming weeks. Signing Xavi Simons would be a statement of intent from Spurs as they look to kickstart a new era under Thomas Frank. The Netherlands international would instantly get in the starting eleven for the Lilywhites. This would mean that Heung-Min Son might be forced to sit out under the Danish tactician heading into next season.
