The ex-Brentford boss has been ushered in to replace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/ange-postecoglou\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ange Postecoglou<\/a> at the north London outfit, who was sacked after winning the Europa League last season.<\/p>\n<p>Frank and co. have wasted no time in getting transfer deals across the line, with Mohammed Kudus having been signed from London rivals West Ham United. It comes after Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso\u2019s loan moves were made permanent, with Spurs also chasing after a new midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>However, one of the club\u2019s biggest transfer successes this summer could come in the form of keeping hold of Cristian Romero. The centre-back, who won the World Cup with Argentina in 2022, had been linked to an exit, with Atletico Madrid mooted as a potential target.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s according to <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6482950\/2025\/07\/11\/cristian-romero-tottenham-atletico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Athletic<\/a>, who claim Spurs\u2019 intention to give Romero a new contract could be crucial in the Argentine\u2019s decision to stick around. Romero\u2019s current deal at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tottenham<\/a> is set to expire in the summer of 2027, but the Lilywhites are pushing to secure his services way beyond that date.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Spurs\u2019 Morgan Gibbs-White pursuit was dealt an unwanted blow when the Europa League winners were <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2080650\/nottingham-forest-accuse-tottenham-illegal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accused of making an \u201cillegal approach\u201d by Nottingham Forest<\/a>. It was reported yesterday that Spurs were closing in on a \u00a360million move for the Englishman, with a medical expected to be completed before the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>The deal is now in jeopardy following the Forest claim, with suggestions that the East Midlands-based outfit could even consider legal action. A complaint to the Premier League is expected to be sent, meanwhile Spurs have been left none the wiser as to Forest\u2019s current stance.<\/p>\n<p><a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2080318\/Tottenham-transfer-news-Morgan-Gibbs-White\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spurs were said to have triggered the 25-year-old\u2019s release clause<\/a>, after they moved quickly to agree terms with the player. Gibbs-White, who was also heavily linked with a move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/manchester-city-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester City<\/a> earlier in the window, was key to Forest finishing seventh in the Premier League last season.<\/p>\n<p>The move to Spurs is considered to be dead at this stage, but there is a possibility it could be revived later in the window. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tottenham<\/a> have just over a month until their opening Premier League match, whereas transfer business can be conducted up until the September 1 deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has been dealt a welcome transfer boost ahead of the 2025\/26 season, as one&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":257874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[22087,94,12031,101,98899,98900,79,19189,1368,10652,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-257873","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-cristian-romero","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-football-section","11":"tag-premier-league","12":"tag-romero-contract","13":"tag-romero-future","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-thomas-frank","16":"tag-tottenham","17":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-fc","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114838108383870591","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
