Tottenham Hotspur are intensifying their efforts to land a \u201cspectacular\u201d forward and are prepared to submit a club-record bid to secure the deal.<\/p>\n
Spurs step up pursuit after Newcastle setback<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s struggles continued on Tuesday night with a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle United, a result that led to Thomas Frank\u2019s dismissal. The north London side now sit just five points above the Premier League relegation zone.<\/p>\n
Frank averaged 1.29 points per game after replacing Ange Postecoglou, prompting ENIC to make a change. However, with Spurs having finished 17th under Ange last season, the issues extend beyond the dugout, and significant squad changes are expected in the summer.<\/p>\n
Club-record bid prepared for Endrick<\/p>\n
According to reports in Spain, ENIC are ready to invest heavily and are preparing a \u20ac100 million (\u00a387 million) bid for Real Madrid forward Endrick, who is currently on loan at Lyon.<\/p>\n
Tottenham are pushing strongly to sign the Brazilian, and Real Madrid are reportedly open to offers. Discussions could accelerate in the coming weeks as Spurs aim to move swiftly before rival clubs enter the race.<\/p>\n
Endrick impressing in France<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old struggled for consistent first-team opportunities at Real Madrid but has made a strong impact since his move to Lyon, registering five goals and one assist in his first six appearances.<\/p>\n
Labelled \u201cspectacular\u201d by former manager Carlo Ancelotti, Endrick delivered a standout display in a 5-2 win over Metz, scoring a hat-trick and contributing across the pitch.<\/p>\n

Shots on target: 6<\/p>\n
