After a late flurry of transfers in the summer window, Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly planning aggressive negotiations to sign a midfield target ahead of Manchester United.

Levy steps down at Tottenham

For all their late work to welcome Xavi Simons, it is still Daniel Levy's name in the headlines. The long-term Spurs chief has left his role as chairman, with the North London club seeking a fresh start aimed at winning silverware. After almost 25 years at the club, Levy's departure came as unexpected news.

Releasing a statement confirming the news, Levy said: "I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees.

"We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level. More than that, we have built a community. I was lucky enough to work with some of the greatest people in this sport, from the team at Lilywhite House and Hotspur Way to all the players and managers over the years.

"I wish to thank all the fans that have supported me over the years. It hasn't always been an easy journey but significant progress has been made. I will continue to support this club passionately."

In his place is Peter Charrington and ex-Arsenal chief Vinai Venkatesham, who will be hoping to leave their mark as soon as possible. With Thomas Frank at the helm and the likes of Simons secured as a parting gift from Levy, all eyes will be on Champions League qualification and more in years to come.

The January transfer window is also now one to watch. If Spurs want to impress in a new era, then welcoming one particular midfield star would certainly be the way to do it.

Tottenham planning aggressive Gallagher move

According to reports in Spain, Tottenham are now planning aggressive talks to sign Conor Gallagher from Atlético Madrid.

The Lillywhites were interested in his signature in the summer, but ultimately failed to secure his signature. Now, in the face of competition from Manchester United, they may push on and finally get their man.

Whether Diego Simeone lets his midfielder go without a fight is the question. The Atlético Madrid boss was full of praise for Gallagher in April, telling reporters: "It's never easy for players coming from England to adapt to the Spanish championship, to the language ... He has competed very well in different places and in positions where he doesn't feel more comfortable.

"He will evolve, he has room for growth. He is very intense in offensive and defensive play, he brings a lot to us."

Frank's midfield has already been key to any success in the early days of his tenure and the addition of the "intense" Gallagher would only improve things. In a World Cup year, meanwhile, moving back to English football would certainly not be a bad idea for the former Chelsea man.
