Tottenham Set to Back Thomas Frank in January as Spurs Target Major Squad Reinforcements

By Francis Onyach - Reporter

Kenya, 26 December 2025 - Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to fully back manager Thomas Frank in the January transfer window, with the club’s hierarchy ready to support his push for at least three top-line additions as Spurs look to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.

Following an inconsistent run of results that has exposed gaps in depth and quality, Tottenham chiefs believe decisive action in the transfer market is necessary to keep the club competitive in both domestic and European competitions.

Frank, who has impressed the board with his tactical clarity and leadership since taking charge, has reportedly identified several priority areas that need urgent reinforcement.

Defensive solidity is understood to be high on the agenda, with injuries and lapses in concentration costing Spurs valuable points.

The club is also keen to add creativity in midfield and more cutting edge in attack, particularly to ease the burden on key players and improve consistency in front of goal.

Sources close to the club suggest Tottenham’s leadership views January as a strategic opportunity rather than a stopgap window, with recruitment focused on players who can make an immediate impact while also fitting the club’s long-term vision.

Frank is said to be closely involved in the recruitment process, working alongside the sporting department to identify profiles that match his high-intensity playing style.

Despite the challenges of the January market , including inflated prices and limited availability, Spurs remain confident they can land at least three signings capable of raising the team’s level.

The willingness to invest also reflects growing belief in Frank’s project and a desire to avoid stagnation during a crucial phase of the season.

With key fixtures looming and ambitions of securing European qualification still very much alive, Tottenham see backing their manager as essential.

If the club delivers on its January plans, Frank could be handed the tools he needs to push Spurs forward and restore momentum heading into the business end of the campaign.

The coming weeks will therefore be pivotal, not only for Tottenham’s transfer strategy but also for shaping the direction of Thomas Frank’s tenure in North London.
