Thomas Frank has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur will be active in the January transfer window. The club missed out on summer targets Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White and faced a series of injuries to key attacking players.
Spurs were already short of attacking depth heading into the season, with Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke all nursing injuries. A hamstring injury to Destiny Udogie has also exposed the club's decision not to sign a left-back in the summer.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's trip to Nottingham Forest, Frank said he was in discussions with co-sporting directors Johan Lange and Fabio Paratici about January plans. 'After the window shut in September, we had the first formal meeting and it is an ongoing process,' he said.
Tottenham brought in Mohammed Kudus before pre-season, but after failed moves for Eze and Gibbs-White, they waited until the end of the window to sign Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani. Both have taken time to adapt due to a lack of full pre-season.
Frank confirmed the club will be in the market: 'We will definitely be in the market. No doubt about that. We want them as early as possible.' He refused to comment on specific players but noted that every position has a list of targets.
