Tottenham plan “irresistible” offer for £68m midfielder amid Thomas Frank belief

da bwin： Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has played a key role in helping to facilitate some Spurs transfer deals since his arrival in N17, with the Dane now believed to be a huge admirer of one player across the continent.

Thomas Frank "key" to Tottenham agreeing Xavi Simons deal

da doce： The Lilywhites’ statement summer signing was their £52 million move for playmaker Xavi Simons.

Tottenham hijacked Chelsea’s once-advanced move to sign the Dutchman on a potential seven-year contract which could be worth a grand total of £125 million (Paul O’Keefe) – putting their spectacularly failed deals for Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White behind them.

Super agent Ali Barat, speaking to RMC Sport this week, revealed that Frank played a very major role in convincing the 22-year-old to join Tottenham over their London rivals.

Speaking after Tottenham’s surprise 2-0 win away to Man City, fellow summer signing Joao Palhinha, who’s enjoyed an impressive start to life back in London overall, also revealed that Frank “pushed” for him to make a Premier League return.

Now, according to reports from Spain, Frank has his eyes on yet another player.

Tottenham plan Morten Hjulmand bid amid Thomas Frank belief

As per one Spanish media source, that man is Sporting CP star Morten Hjulmand.

The Denmark international is currently in fine form for Rui Borges’ side, starting all five of their Primeira Liga matches so far this season and averaging a very impressive 92.9 per cent passing accuracy (WhoScored).

After becoming a star for the current Portuguese champions since his move there over two years ago, in a deal worth an initial £15.5 million, Hjulmand’s value has skyrocketed.

His contract includes a £68 million release clause, but Tottenham are planning to test the water with a £52 million bid for Hjulmand.

Frank apparently believes he could be a “key” signing for the club, and with Yves Bissouma very likely to leave in 2026, Hjulmand could come as the Mali international’s perfect replacement.

Sporting realise that the 26-year-old could be tempted by Spurs’ “irresistible” offer of an opportunity to play English football, and there is apparent concern that this season could be the midfielder’s last in Portugal.
