Thomas Frank is set to assume command shortly. Tottenham Hotspur tasked with transforming the Europa League champions into serious competitors for the Premier League title.

Although Tottenham Hotspur possess a skilled team, even after placing 17th in the previous season, Frank aims to imprint his distinctive style on the lineup.

We have examined 11 players who might form his ideal Tottenham Hotspur team for the upcoming season.

GK: Guglielmo Vicario

Vicario appears likely to retain his position as the starting goalkeeper at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with no necessity for the team to search for an alternative primary shot-stopper.

Even with some instability in set pieces, the Italian has shown himself to be a reliable goalkeeper and deserves to remain their final barrier.

It would make more sense for them to spend their money elsewhere since Frank will have more urgent matters that require attention.

RB: Pedro Porro

The potential transfer of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool to Real Madrid seems to have eliminated Porro’s opportunity to move to the Spanish capital.

Although the season had its ups and downs for the right-back, Porro remains a skilled player and ought to prove beneficial to Frank’s Tottenham team.

When Djed Spence comes calling, Frank’s more consistent defensive play might allow Porro to continue progressing and excelling.

CB: Marc Guehi

There have been strong indications that Cristian Romero might depart during the upcoming summer, and should he leave North London, the team will require a dependable replacement for him.

Spurs might consider looking within their city limits for his replacement; Guehi still has one year remaining on his contract with Crystal Palace, and his price tag may be manageable for Tottenham.

Various clubs have shown interest in the English international player; Chelsea and Newcastle have been mentioned as potential suitors. However, Tottenham Hotspur can additionally offer participation in the UEFA Champions League and require minimal relocation for the player.

CB: Mickey van de Ven

Van de Ven experienced an irritating, injury-plagued season, yet he continued to be a vital player for Tottenham whenever he was able to play.

Even with the obstacles encountered, Van de Ven’s exceptional display in the Europa League final marked a remarkable journey through Europe, culminating in the team breaking their 17-year drought for winning trophies.

Earlier reports from Football Insider indicated that he might consider departing Tottenham should Real Madrid make an official offer. The club has been interested in the player for a considerable time.

However, we're assuming that the Dutch defender will remain with Tottenham this summer and serve as the backbone of their defense both nationally and in European competitions.

LB: Destiny Udogie

Despite only starting four Premier League matches in 2025 due to injury, Udogie remains one of the most powerful and promising defenders across Europe.

The recent attention from Manchester City, prior to their signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri, highlights the quality of his abilities and suggests that Frank has access to a highly promising talent.

CM: Morten Hjulmand

Sporting CP's Hjulmand would make an ideal deep-lying midfielder for Tottenham due to his playing style.

He has a shared Danish link with Frank and has previously been associated with Tottenham Hotspur, with estimates indicating that such a transfer might cost approximately £50 million.

Under Frank’s leadership, the Swedish player ought to keep improving and potentially rise to become one of the premier midfielders in the English top flight.

Liverpool and Manchester United have likewise been connected to securing his signature.

LW: Jack Grealish

Football finance expert Stefan Borson has suggested Spurs might represent an intriguing option for Grealish this summer.

"There aren't many squads out there capable of covering the salary he currently commands," Borson said to Football Insider.

But you might think that Manchester City wouldn’t be expecting a large transfer fee for him since removing his salary from their payroll makes more sense, considering he has scarcely played this season and earns over £300,000 weekly, which totals to more than £15 million annually.

We are aware that Spurs have expressed interest in the player.

“However, the main issue remains: How will this be viable financially speaking since they won’t be paying him £300,000 per week?”

Maybe a loan arrangement could benefit both sides, enabling Grealish to revitalize his career outside the pressures of Pep Guardiola’s expectations.

ST: Dominic Solanke

Secured with a £65 million deal last summer, Solanke netted 16 times across 45 matches in total competitions throughout his first season at Spurs.
