Thomas Frank is one transfer away from unleashing dream Tottenham attack on Premier League rivals

Thomas Frank certainly has options when it comes to his Tottenham attack for the 2025/26 season. He could have a further addition to call upon very soon if Spurs can complete a deal for Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White.

The deal hit a bit of a snag on Friday with the East Midlands club cutting off all communication and considering legal action against what they believe to be an illegal approach from Tottenham along with the potential revealing of a confidential release clause. Tottenham were set to activate his £60million release clause and the player undergo his medical on Friday.

The transfer is on hold for now but Tottenham still want to proceed with the deal. A £60million transfer to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would follow Mohammed Kudus' £55million move from West Ham.

The Ghana international does give Frank plenty of options in the final third but he mainly operated from the right-wing during his time at West Ham. Given Spurs have splashed out serious money on the 24-year-old, it would be a shock if he didn't start.

Kudus will compete with players such as Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Yang Min-hyeok for a position on the right. It remains to be seen when Kulusevski will be back from injury but he has been an integral part of the Spurs team in recent seasons and they are better for having him in the starting XI.

The Swede is of course an option when it comes to the No.10 role as well. However, that may now be Gibbs-White's position if he is to join from Nottingham Forest.

The 25-year-old has been a revelation in the position for Forest and contributed with some big moments in attack as Forest surprised everyone to clinch a European berth. Gibbs-White brings energy to the team and he would undoubtedly be a huge asset to Frank centrally as he makes things happen.

Quite what that means for James Maddison in the starting XI remains to be seen. Competition is one thing Tottenham do need, though, and rotation is going to be so important as Tottenham compete on four fronts given all the injuries that plagued their 2024/25 campaign.

On the left-wing, the main question heading into the new season is whether Son Heung-min will be at the club. The long-serving player has been linked with a move away after ten years in the capital and it could be the perfect time for him to bow out after lifting the Europa League final trophy back in May.

If he is to exit, Mathys Tel could be the regular starter from the left-wing after joining the club permanently from Bayern Munich. Spurs fans certainly didn't see the France Under-21 star at his very best during his time on loan but he did demonstrate in glimpses that he is a very talented player.

New head coach Frank could well extract even more out of his game and Tel will only be a better player for his four months in north London in the first half of 2025. Richarlison, Odobert, Manor Solomon and Mikey Moore are further options for Frank to consider from the left.

Up front, Dominic Solanke will lead the line. The former Bournemouth man will only benefit from having players such as Kudus and Gibbs-White around him, meaning he should hopefully get more chances on goal every game now after last season having to feed off scraps at times.

If Solanke is not in the team, Richarlison is next in line and then there are further options in Dane Scarlett and Will Lankshear for now. Tel can also play as a striker but is clearly more at home from the left flank.

Amid question marks over when Kulusevski will be back and what comes next for Son, it could be Kudus, Gibbs-White and Tel playing behind Solanke in Frank's Tottenham team to begin with. It promises to be a very exciting season in N17 with a new front four potentially leading the charge.
