Transfer news: Spurs sign Kudus and set medical for Gibbs-White; Madueke to Arsenal latest
BBC Sport Senior football correspondent
So that will be £115m spent in 24 hours for Tottenham. It’s all very un-Daniel Levy-like, isn’t it?
With Mohammed Kudus signed and Morgan Gibbs-White on his way to north London, both are flair players that live up to Tottenham’s attacking traditions. But crucially are players who have Premier League experience.
Indeed, that was the remit for Tottenham’s recruitment team this summer.
The Spurs squad is already packed full of exciting young potential, what Thomas Frank believes it needs is experience.
While Kudus and Gibbs-White are relatively young – 24 and 25, respectively – they are well-versed in the rigours of England’s top-flight.
Kudus has two full seasons for West Ham under his belt, making 80 appearances across all competitions, while Gibbs-White has played in the last three Premier League campaigns for Forest and had prior experience as a teenager at Wolves.
Spurs’ interest in Brentford duo Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo is further illustration of Tottenham’s recruitment remit.
