Thomas Frank has offered some revealing insight into what Tottenham are aiming to do in the January transfer window.
\nSpurs closed out 2025 with a crucial 1-0 victory away at Crystal Palace, a result that moved them to within five points of Chelsea in fifth place.<\/p>\n
The coming weeks represent a pivotal period for Tottenham, on and off the pitch, as they attempt to rediscover consistency and bolster their squad. Reports have suggested the club are ready to spend heavily to address key areas, but Frank has now shed light on how the club plans to approach the winter window.<\/p>\n
Frank plays down January spending talk
\nDespite claims that Spurs could hand Frank a \u00a3150 million budget in January, the 52-year-old struck a cautious tone, suggesting the club will only act if the right opportunities arise.<\/p>\n
Speaking to BBC Sport, Frank explained that Tottenham will assess the market but will not rush into deals that do not clearly improve the squad.
\n\u201cObviously the window opens and we\u2019ll look at what\u2019s available and whether there\u2019s something that can strengthen the team,\u201d he said. \u201cIf not, we\u2019d rather wait, but we\u2019ll be active and see what\u2019s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spurs still in a transition phase
\nAlthough the win at Selhurst Park eased some of the immediate pressure, Frank acknowledged that Tottenham remain a work in progress.<\/p>\n
The Dane admitted the club is still navigating a transitional period but stressed that there are encouraging signs, particularly in terms of mentality and resilience.
\n\u201cI think we\u2019re still in that transition phase we\u2019ve been in for a while,\u201d Frank added. \u201cWe came into a season where we\u2019re competing in the Champions League and the Premier League.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been plenty of positives, especially the resilience we showed today in a game that wasn\u2019t perfect. Winning 1-0 away in a tight, difficult match shows real quality. Now it\u2019s about continuing to build, step by step, with every game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
