In October, the Lewis family invested £100 million in Tottenham Hotspur, aiming to achieve previously unheard-of heights. Under Thomas Frank, they hope to modernise the club's transfer strategy and ambition while enforcing better standards.
During the previous summer transfer window, Spurs focused more on experienced and ready-made players, acquiring players like Randal Kolo Muani, Mohammed Kudus, and Joao Palhinha. The idea was to boost the starting lineup right away following a terrible 2024–2025 Premier League season. The strategy has so far been successful, with Thomas Frank's team's top performances being Kudus and Palhinha.
Tottenham intends to invest in a new defender in January since centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven's fitness is a constant concern. The Lilywhites aim to address the lack of depth because players like Radu Dragusin and Kota Takai have not played a minute yet because of injury issues, despite Kevin Danso's strong performance filling in for the injured Romero in a few games.
Nathan Ake, a defender for Manchester City, was linked to Tottenham in January. In the summer transfer window, Tottenham was interested in signing Nathan Ake. However, a deal fell through because Manchester City wanted to keep Nathan Ake after loaning him to Inter Milan to play for Manuel Akanji.
This season, the Netherlands international has only started two of ten Premier League games. Pep Guardiola has utilised the 30-year-old as a squad option due to the fierce competition at Man City. Ake is looking for a change of scenery in January and needs regular playing time to make it into the Netherlands squad for the World Cup next summer.
An exclusive report from CaughtOffside claims that Man City is prepared to pay between €30 million and €35 million for Ake during the winter transfer window. Teams like Crystal Palace, Juventus, and Inter Milan are getting ready to compete for the seasoned defender.
Tottenham could succeed if they put themselves in the running for the Dutchman. Ake has won numerous trophies at Etihad Stadium and is a seasoned, skilled, and adaptable defender. Thomas Frank would be drawn to the Hague-born star's winning mindset, ability to play as a left-back, and his edging closer to 250 Premier League matches.
To be competitive in the second part of the season, Spurs need depth in their centre defence; thus, acquiring Ake would be a great investment. Despite being thirty, the former Bournemouth player is capable of producing two or three years of excellent football. The City player is being courted by a number of teams, so the Lilywhites will need to take the initiative to sign him in 2026.
FABRIZIO ROMANO: LIVERPOOL IN ADVANCED TALKS TO KEEP SZOBOSZLAI
Fabrizio Romano reports Liverpool is in advanced talks with Dominik Szoboszlai over a new contract. The Reds are pushing to secure their potential future captain on a long-term deal with an improved salary.

Taking over as sporting director in 2024 was not an easy task for Richard Hughes. Prior to starting a plan to rebuild the Reds' team, he had to deal with contract concerns.
The summer saw the realisation of this strategy, but it is only the beginning. Hughes still needs to plan to replace some of the club's ageing players, even if he has cut ties with many of the old guard.
It is irrelevant how long Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah will remain at Liverpool. Their contracts, which end in the summer of 2027, are not certain to be fulfilled by either of them.
It is possible that he could go much earlier for the former candidate.
There are other factors to take into account. At the conclusion of the season, Andy Robertson's contract will expire. Ibrahima Konate's does, too. It is unclear if they will both remain at the club.
Liverpool is working on transfers at the same time. Even though Hughes made a significant investment during the summer transfer window, his team is not flawless.
Hughes will need to add more stars in order to create the proper combination because the Reds lack balance.
especially at centre back, where Liverpool lost out on Marc Guehi in the closing hours of the transfer season.
However, they have also been attempting to sign a left-winger for a while, and Antoine Semenyo might become available next year, which would be a great addition to the Reds' roster.
Hughes will create a core group in the process that will be able to produce a super team for many years to come, even after its star players, like Salah and Van Dijk, have long since left.
For Hughes and Michael Edwards, this has always been the objective. They are aware that staying at the top for decades is more challenging than actually reaching it.
It is quite easy to collapse, particularly when legends retire and characters change.
Liverpool is aware of how simple it is. They experienced it in the 1990s, and following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in the middle of the 2010s, they witnessed Manchester United's stunning decline.
Finding the present members of the team who can step up and lead this group will undoubtedly be a crucial aspect of the future.
With a contract with the club through 2028, Dominik Szoboszlai is now the front-runner for that position. But Liverpool wants to extend his contract because they believe he may be a captain in the future.
Fabrizio Romano revealed on his YouTube channel that negotiations between Liverpool and Szoboszlai's team are presently progressing.
"Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai are new contracts that Liverpool is working on," Romano stated.
"There has already been some very preliminary discussion with Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, and negotiations are currently moving forward between Liverpool and Szoboszlai on a new deal.
"Let me clarify. The negotiations are not yet at their conclusion. Although we have not reached a verbal agreement with Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool and Szoboszlai are still in communication.
So, a conversation is going on. The good news is that Liverpool is willing to increase his pay.
Even though Dominick Szoboszlai was already receiving a competitive wage, his results have been outstanding.
"Gravenberch is also performing extremely well; therefore, Liverpool wants to retain both players for the long run. However, in the last few days, Liverpool has made progress in their negotiations with Dominik Szoboszlai.
"A discussion and a negotiation are currently underway. Once more, the negotiation is far from over.
"There is still work to be done, so it is not a done deal, but there is a great connection, and Liverpool is attempting to move quickly on this one with Dominik Szoboszlai."
ENZO MARESCA HAILS ESTEVAO WILLIAN FOR ENERGIZING CHELSEA WIN AGAINST WOLVES

Estevao Willian "increased the spirit" in a nervous Stamford Bridge before leading Chelsea to a 3-0 victory over Wolves to take second place in the Premier League, according to Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca.
After dominating the bottom team in the league without making any progress, the home team was jeered off at halftime.
Six minutes into the second half, Malo Gusto's headed goal lifted the stadium, and when the Brazilian teenager was sent on, he instantly set up Joao Pedro for a second goal, dramatically changing the atmosphere.
Even though Pedro Neto scored the third goal from Alejandro Garnacho's cross, Estevao once again appeared to be in the spotlight.
"Before this game, I was really anxious," Maresca stated. "These are the most difficult games. Everyone believes it will be simple.
"I can see why many were upset in the first half because we did not score. People adore such type of player, so when Estevao entered the game, the energy level increased.
As he gets used to English football, the 18-year-old has mostly only made substitute appearances in the league.
The boy, who arrived to London from his home Brazil in the summer, had complained about the cold weather, and the manager told him to anticipate things to get worse before they get better, Maresca claimed this week.
His debut in blue has been scorching on the field, and even while he was just warming up, his impact was enough to captivate home fans during a game that they seemed to be losing interest in.
"His talent is evident," Maresca remarked. "We are working to provide him the appropriate minutes and assist him in adapting.
"He needs time to adjust after coming from Brazil, but he will start games for us in the future."
With 21 goals from 11 games, Chelsea is now leading the division in scoring, although it would have been hard to believe that after a slow first half.
Garnacho, who has been impressive since joining from Manchester United, set up two of the goals, which came within 22 minutes of the second half.
"His physical condition was not excellent because he came from a club where he was not training 100%," Maresca added. He is gradually getting better.
He is aware that in order to play with us, he must be proficient both on and off the ball; otherwise, he will not participate. We are quite pleased with him.
In the dugout for what appears to be the final time that Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards is in talks to take over, Wolves interim manager James Collins looked at the team's strengths despite the fact that they were eight points outside of safety.
"The boys are working hard together," he remarked. They are quite cohesive and do not have any small cliques.
"We need to improve; there is still work to be done. There are still more games to play. Chelsea will not be the defining factor of our season.
