Tottenham are looking for a number 10 and a new senior centre-back in the remainder of the transfer window to help bolster Thomas Frank's squad, football.london understands.
Football.london understands that Tottenham are confident they will have the funds to carry out their transfer plans this summer, with Frank prioritising both that central attacking playmaker and another centre-back with a good level of experience to bolster the Dane's options in the backline.
Spurs were keen on reuniting Frank with another Brentford star in Bryan Mbeumo, who was focused on a transfer to Manchester United, while Yoane Wissa remains of interest but Frank is currently happy with Dominic Solanke and Richarlison as his options.
Frank quote: "Yeah, I think so [we have enough full-backs] because right now we have Ben and Spence. I thought [Djed] was very good against Woolwich and did very well against Saka, and I think Ben is a very important player," he said."
An important aspect of the transfer window for Frank is to get the processes involved down to a streamlined state with technical director Johan Lange and head of scouting Rob Mackenzie like he had it at Brentford, albeit after years at the helm.
"Obviously we are signing players here where the processes in Brentford, I'm not saying they were better, I think they're very good," said the head coach. "I think that Johan and his team is doing a top job, top, but just for them to understand what I'm looking for, so that needs to be aligned.
"At Brentford it was aligned (clicks fingers). 'I want that', 'OK, fine', we look at it, boom, and now I need to use more time with Johan and Rob and these guys and then we make presentations. 'No, no, no, I need that instead', so all that is just extra hours every day."
