A mounting injury crisis has compounded the problem for Frank, with key attacking figures sidelined for extended spells. Absences for players like James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have drained the team\u2019s creativity, while deeper midfield combinations\u2014such as Joao Palhinha partnering Rodrigo Bentancur\u2014have left the side predictable and lacking spark. It\u2019s clear Tottenham need an energetic box-to-box midfielder capable of stabilising the centre of the pitch and contributing in the final third.<\/p>\n<p>Details of Victor Froholdt\u2019s release clause at FC Porto have now surfaced. Spurs were linked with the young Dane in the summer after scouting him extensively during his impressive breakthrough at FC Copenhagen. Although Tottenham failed to secure his signature, Froholdt completed a move to FC Porto, where he has continued to shine.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager\u2019s performances have drawn interest from several major European clubs. Atletico Madrid are among those tracking him closely, with Froholdt recording two goals and two assists in 11 league matches, alongside standout Europa League displays. Reports from October indicated Tottenham are still monitoring his development, while Porto, aware of his rapid rise, inserted a significant release clause upon signing him.<\/p>\n<p>According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Froholdt\u2019s contract includes an \u20ac85 million release clause. Atletico Madrid admire his personality, dynamism and goal threat, and although they consider the clause steep, they believe negotiations could bring the cost down ahead of a potential January move.<\/p>\n<p>From Tottenham\u2019s viewpoint, Froholdt fits seamlessly into the club\u2019s recruitment philosophy. Under Frank, Spurs have built a high-intensity, physically demanding style of play, and the Porto midfielder appears well-suited to that approach. With James Maddison expected to miss much of the season due to an ACL injury, the need for creativity and drive from central areas has become urgent. Froholdt offers qualities that could help unlock compact, organised opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The coming weeks will reveal whether Tottenham decide to challenge Atletico Madrid in the race for Froholdt when the January window opens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham target Victor Froholdt has an \u20ac85 million release clause in his FC Porto contract.
