"Frank has added to his squad during this window by signing Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher for 35m and Brazil left-back Souza on a long-term deal. "It was clear, there is no doubt, that the club wanted to sign [Antoine] Semenyo. They did everything and I think that is a clear signal that the Lewis family is very committed," said head coach Frank on Friday. "That's the quality of players we are looking for to improve the squad.""
"He has come under increasing pressure during his first season at Spurs, with the club 14th in the Premier League table and without a top-flight win in five games. There have been boos by supporters in recent home matches and also chants for Frank to be sacked. However, Wednesday's win at Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed a top-eight finish in the Champions League table to secure an automatic place in the last 16."
Tottenham attempted to sign Antoine Semenyo in January but the move did not materialize because of real-world transfer market complexities. Semenyo, 26, joined Manchester City for 62.5m earlier this month. Tottenham strengthened the squad by signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid for 35m and Brazilian left-back Souza on a long-term deal. Thomas Frank took charge in June with a contract until 2028 and has faced pressure as the club sits 14th in the Premier League and has gone five top-flight games without a win. A win at Eintracht Frankfurt secured Champions League last-16 qualification, while eight senior players are currently injured.
