tottenham hotspur After the end of the January transfer window, it was widely believed that Thomas FrankThe team’s holes have yet to be plugged.
although Dominic Solanke Returning from injury, Tottenham are ostensibly weaker than they were a month ago, with Brennan Johnson sold to Crystal Palace and Richarlison and Mohamed Kudus adding to a bloated injury list that already includes key playmakers James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
Come summer, the focus will definitely be on offense. But it may be too late for Frank, whose position is already tenuous.
Danish boss will surely regret Tottenham’s loss to Manchester City in race for Manchester City Antoine Semenho.
How Semenho ranks among Manchester City and Tottenham strikers
Just over a week after the January transfer window opened, Semenho joined Manchester City in a deal worth £62 million. He has become one of the most popular forwards in the Premier League with Bournemouth and started his career under Pep Guardiola.
Tottenham Hotspur are very keen. Indeed, last summer their bid was rejected by the south coast side after confidential discussions. Semenho’s release clause comes into effect in January and Bournemouth know that by hanging on, they will get what they deserve.
His sharp and direct attacking style is a perfect fit for Tottenham’s forward line. Semenho is also a winger on both sides of the ball.
Looking at his performances in his first few weeks at the Etihad Stadium, ENIC Group will only be further frustrated as Frank’s side are not scoring enough or creating chances.

As we’ve seen, the Ghanaian got off to a fast start in Manchester despite Guardiola’s side’s poor form.
Sure, mistakes are frustrating, but Tottenham have recently signed a better talent than the Manchester City player.
Spurs sign better talent than Semenho
Frankly, Tottenham have left a lot to be desired this season and Semenho will face an uphill battle if he is to fulfill his talismanic role in a team that lacks fluidity and sharpness.
But he is a proven Premier League star and missing him will frustrate the Spurs board for some time.
But the signing was successful Harvey Simmons The £52m signing from RB Leipzig last summer will soften the blow, especially as the young Dutchman starts to get stronger in his playmaking abilities.
The diminutive playmaker had a rocky start to life in England and was even criticized by content creator Ronaldo Brown for “Swallowed by the Premier League“After the first attempt didn’t work.
But from a tactical perspective, Tottenham’s performance was abysmal and dysfunctional. Simmons is as talented as they come and he will only continue to grow in the years to come.
Hailed as a “capable” player by statistician Staman Davemagic” It’s in moments of possession that Simmons really starts to come into his own, and given the level he’s reached in his two years in the Bundesliga, there’s reason to be excited for N17.
He arrives for a respectable but not extortionate fee and Tottenham appear to have struck a shrewd deal. According to renowned data analysts at CIES Football Observatory, the Dutch star’s market value has soared to around £82 million, making him Tottenham Hotspur’s most valuable player and actually a more valuable attacker than Semenho.
Semenio is riding a wave right now, but it’s worth remembering that Simmons is still young. At 22 years old, he was younger than Semenho when he left Bristol City in the Championship to join Bournemouth for £10.5 million.
Simmons will take time, but we’ve gotten some positives in recent weeks and there’s no doubt Frank is managing a potential superstar.
