Daniel Levy looks set to back Tottenham boss Thomas Frank in the summer transfer window

When Thomas Frank stepped through the doors at Hotspur Way, it was clear a new chapter was beginning. The Ange Postecoglou era had brought flair but also instability. What followed was uncertainty, would Daniel Levy truly back his new man? The answer, at least so far, is a resounding yes.

Tottenham’s transfer activity this summer has shown a clear shift in ambition, headlined by the £55 million arrival of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham. But it’s not just the Kudus deal that’s raised eyebrows, Spurs have actively pursued Morgan Gibbs-White, even moving to trigger his £60m release clause, a figure previously unthinkable under Levy’s more cautious regime.

After years of criticism from supporters over perceived stinginess in the market, Levy appears to be rewriting the narrative and fast.

According to football finance expert Dan Plumley, the Danish manager’s appointment came with serious financial commitments. Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Plumley confirmed what many fans had hoped:

“Frank wouldn’t have signed without assurances… It’s a big outlay, but clearly part of the plan.”

And that plan includes Champions League football, squad depth, and a long-term vision. With over £100 million already spent, and several weeks remaining before the window slams shut, Spurs show no signs of slowing down.

The club is not just spending for the sake of headlines. The idea is to strengthen, prepare, and build a team that can compete domestically and in Europe. Even if the Gibbs-White deal doesn’t materialize, Spurs are ready to pivot and that flexibility itself is a sign of progress.

For once, Spurs fans are seeing their club act like a Champions League side, not just talk like one. Daniel Levy has turned a corner, and Thomas Frank is clearly the beneficiary of a new, bolder transfer approach. However, there is still much work to be done and issues to be resolved.

Of course, titles aren’t won in July, but Tottenham’s intent is loud and clear. They’re building something serious, a squad capable of challenging on multiple fronts, not just scraping for top four.

With the right balance of youth, experience, and tactical clarity under Frank, Spurs may finally be poised to turn potential into silverware once again. And this time, Levy seems willing to pay the price to get there.
