Dream Wharton alternative: Spurs working on deal to sign “outrageous” CM
Tottenham Hotspur’s priority this summer has been to strengthen their first-team squad this summer, with Thomas Frank needing the tools to succeed during his spell in North London.
Mohammed Kudus has been the first major addition of the Dane’s tenure at the club, costing a staggering £55m from fellow London outfit West Ham United.
However, after completing a deal for the Ghanaian international, their recruitment has evidently switched to landing new midfield talents to help bolster the middle of the park.
Morgan Gibbs-White has arguably been the most high-profile name linked with a move in such a department, even making a £60m bid for the England international.
The delay in the move has forced the Lilywhites to carry on their hunt elsewhere, subsequently drawing up a shortlist of other midfielders who could make the move to North London this summer.
The latest on Spurs’ hunt for new midfielders this summer
Douglas Luiz is a player who’s been on Spurs’ radar over recent weeks, with the Brazilian almost certain to leave Juventus this summer after making three Serie A starts last season.
In recent days, his agent has travelled to England to speak to possible interested clubs, but it remains unclear at this stage if Frank’s side are one of the teams who will enter talks.
