Tottenham will open Thomas Frank’s transfer business on Tuesday, eyeing a £63 million splash.

Spurs’ technical director Johan Lange has been working to secure reinforcements for the new head coach but hasn’t yet brought in any new arrivals to sign on the dotted line at Hotspur Way. That will change on Tuesday, with a flurry of activity as the calendar flips to July and player contracts, both incoming and outgoing, officially roll over after June 30.

Among the deals set to become official is Mathys Tel’s £29.8m switch from Bayern Munich, with a potential £4.2m in bonuses. Likewise, Kevin Danso’s £21m transfer from Lens will be confirmed once his loan arrangement concludes.

Also joining the ranks is Luka Vuskovic, who was signed back in 2023 but needed to wait until turning 18 to complete his move to north London after loan spells in Poland and Belgium. His total package is believed to be around £12m.

Altogether, these transactions mark a roughly £63m investment as Thomas Frank begins reshaping his squad. Naturally, some Spurs fans will point out that rival clubs have spent that kind of money on a single player, rather than spreading it over three.

In addition, Spurs are still finalising a £5m deal for 20-year-old Japanese defender Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale, and a seven-figure agreement for Leeds’ 16-year-old Oliver Boast could see him join the academy intake later this summer, much like previous youth recruits.

Tuesday will also signal departures from N17. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is set to complete a move to Marseille, bringing in about £17m for Spurs. Players like Sergio Reguilon, Fraser Forster, and Alfie Whiteman will see their Tottenham contracts end on the same day, while Timo Werner’s loan officially expires and he heads back to RB Leipzig.

Taking Hojbjerg’s fee into account, Tottenham’s net outlay this week is closer to £46m but expectations remain high. With Champions League football returning and chairman Daniel Levy demanding Thomas Frank’s side be competitive on all fronts, further signings are anticipated.

Eyes will now turn to how Spurs respond to rivals who have already made bold moves in the market from Manchester United, their former Europa League adversaries, to Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City. Two years ago, ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s first pre-season, Tottenham had already secured James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario at this stage.

While Thomas Frank will begin working with his players late next week, it’s clear which areas of the squad still need attention. Tuesday’s expected rush of signings must be just the start if Spurs are to match their ambitions in the months ahead
