Tottenham Hotspur need to bounce back after what was a poor Premier League season last time around.
Indeed, Tottenham recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish last season as they finished 17th in the table, just one spot above the relegation zone.
However, after winning the Europa League, Tottenham have reason to be excited for this upcoming campaign under a new manager.
Thomas Frank has already been putting his players through their paces, while some new signings have arrived.
Mohammed Kudus has already impressed in training, while another attacking-midfield addition is being targeted.

Tottenham want to sign Morgan Gibbs-White, but a deal is proving complicated after Nottingham Forest made a complaint about Spurs’ approach last week.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Alasdair Gold has been discussing Tottenham’s interest in Gibbs-White, and he says Thomas Frank believes Gibbs-White is the perfect player for his system.
“Privately, he was a player we’ve spoken about in the past about Spurs liking him. Thomas Frank wanted him at Brentford years back when he was at Wolves. He’s a player he believes is perfect for his set-up. Creativity, number 10, but also high energy and an approach made sense for all parties.”
How Tottenham feel about Nottingham Forest complaint
Gold would go on to speak about Nottingham Forest’s complaint about Spurs’ approach for Gibbs-White.
The journalist says that Tottenham believe they haven’t done anything wrong, while he noted again that the player hasn’t signed a new contract with Nottingham Forest.
“So kind of we’re going to have to officially wait for this to run its course. What that course is, we shall find out because privately Spurs are believed to feel they’ve done nothing wrong. They still want to sign the player,” Gold said.
“I mean, what does Morgan Gibbs-White want to do? Well, certainly from what we understand, he’s been turning down attempts from Forest for a fair few months to talk about a new contract. They want to give him a big new contract, make him one of, if not the top earner at the club with either removal of this release clause or a renegotiation of it.
“But he has thus far not entertained such talks.”
Tottenham still want Gibbs-White, and a deal could still end up happening, but, for now, things are on hold as Nottingham Forest look to block the England international from leaving the City Ground.
This is a situation that could run for a little while yet, and it’s certainly one to keep an eye on.
