Tottenham are in real trouble under Thomas Frank and their current squad requires a lot of investment.<\/p>\n
Frank is now even closer to the sack<\/a> after Spurs were beaten 2-1 by West Ham United on Saturday afternoon, leaving the North London side 14th in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Callum Wilson\u2019s last-minute winner<\/a> condemned the Lilywhites to a third successive defeat and their eighth loss in their past 14 games.<\/p>\n Former Tottenham chairman Alan Sugar<\/a> believes that Joe Lewis must act now to turn the desperate situation around.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Joe Lewis urged to invest in Tottenham squad<\/p>\n Tottenham signed Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid<\/a>, officially confirming their first addition of the January transfer window last Wednesday.<\/p>\n The midfielder played the full 90 minutes against West Ham but couldn\u2019t help his side avoid yet another defeat.<\/p>\n Frank is also set to bring in Souza from Santos<\/a>, after the left-back was spotted watching his new teammates at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n However, Spurs need more than just these two signings if they want to get back to the higher end of the Premier League.<\/p>\n Following the loss against West Ham, Sugar took to social media, urging the Tottenham ownership to spend some money, something he believes is waiting in the pipeline.<\/p>\n Spurs -West Ham another poor result today. I know Joe Lewis is just waiting to strike with an injection of cash to build a winning team. The time is right now in the transfer window. #coys<\/a> @SpursOfficial<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) January 18, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n He said: \u201cSpurs \u2013 West Ham, another poor result today.

The time is right now in the transfer window.\u201d<\/p>\n Who else are Tottenham targeting?<\/p>\n After Souza is officially announced, Tottenham will turn their attention to strengthening in attack.<\/p>\n Frank wants to bring in another left winger<\/a>, whether that be in the January transfer window or in the summer, should he last that long.<\/p>\n Spurs have had real issues going forward in recent months, missing the likes of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n However, it remains to be seen whether Frank will still be in a job by the time a new attacker comes in, given the increasing calls for his dismissal.<\/p>\n Lewis\u2019s injection of this money into Tottenham would be the perfect time for it, but whether it should come with a new manager as well is something that remains to be seen.<\/p>\n Stay up to date this winter with our Tottenham transfer tracker<\/a>.
