Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy holds high hopes for a player who Thomas Frank's side are now reportedly in talks for, with the Lilywhites chief harboring an interesting theory about his quality behind-the-scenes.

Spurs are braced for their first campaign under Ange Postecoglou's replacement, and this summer transfer window will be absolutely vital when it comes Frank's chances of competing on multiple fronts.

The north Londoners will be in next season's Champions League draw after their triumph in the Europa League final, but with uncertainty surrounding the futures of key first-team players like Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero, their squad could look pretty different by their opening game of 2025/2026.

If the aforementioned pair do end up departing, amid rumoured interest from Atlético Madrid and the Saudi Pro League respectively, Levy will need to ensure that Frank has the necessary quality at his disposal to get his Spurs career off to the finest possible start.

Tottenham are reliably believed to be in the market for a quality new attacking midfielder/winger, and it is no coincidence these links come amid reports that Son could depart for Saudi.

In the last few days, following widespread claims that Spurs are top contenders to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, Frank's side have now opened talks over a move for West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus instead.

The Ghanaian has an £85 million release clause in his contract, active for the first 10 days of this month, but West Ham could let him leave for a fee closer to £60 million, according to The Guardian.

Amid discussions to make Kudus their third potential signing of the summer after Mathys Tel and Japanese starlet Kota Takai, journalist Graeme Bailey has shared what Levy personally thinks of the former Ajax star, who West Ham signed for just £38 million.

Writing for TBR Football, Bailey revealed information about Levy's belief that Frank could make Kudus into another Bryan Mbeumo - and Spurs' chairman is believed to be a real fan of the 24-year-old.

As of now, Tottenham have held the "most advanced" talks in the race for Kudus' signature, according to Bailey, with Levy's close advisor, Fabio Paratici, also emerging as an admirer of the Hammers forward.

He didn't exactly enjoy his best campaign at the London Stadium over the season just gone, at least in comparison to his debut year at West Ham, but Kudus still managed to register more successful take-ons per 90 on average than any other Premier League player bar Man City's Jeremy Doku (WhoScored).

The former Eredivisie sensation can be truly devastating in one-v-one situations, and he'd be quite an exciting replacement for Son if the 32-year-old does wave goodbye to N17 after a memorable 10-year stay.
