Mohammed Kudus became Thomas Frank<\/a>\u2019s first major signing since taking the reins at Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, joining in a \u00a355m deal from West Ham United last week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Ghanaian will offer key quality and depth in numerous key areas within the Lilywhites squad next season, having the versatility to star in numerous positions.<\/p>\n He can operate in any of the wide areas, whilst also being able to operate in the number ten role, leaving Frank to determine which role the 24-year-old is best suited to.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s likely that the new boss will want further additions to help bolster his side to aid any chances of immediate success in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n Countless names have been touted with a move to North London in recent days, with multiple players appearing to be subject to more than just interest from the Lilywhites.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over recent days, reports have emerged linking<\/a> Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton<\/a> with a move to join Spurs, but they could be priced out of a move for his signature.<\/p>\n Claims were made that the 21-year-old could be available for a fee in the region of \u00a3100m<\/a> this summer, a figure undoubtedly way beyond what he\u2019s worth after registering just 36 Premier League appearances<\/a> in his career.<\/p>\n However, another name has entered the mix over the last couple of days, with Club Brugge star Ardon Jashari a key target for the club, according to TBR Football.<\/p>\n Their latest report claims that the Lilywhites have made an enquiry to sign the 22-year-old<\/a> central midfielder this window, with the Swiss star currently valued at \u00a332m.<\/p>\n It also states that numerous other Premier League sides, such as Nottingham Forest and Everton, remain in the race for his signature after he failed to agree a move to AC Milan earlier this window.<\/p>\n Given his rapid rise to stardom over the last couple of months, it\u2019s no surprise to see Eagles star Wharton touted with big-money moves away from Selhurst Park this window.<\/p>\n Despite his tender age, he was named in the Euro 2024 squad 12 months ago, having the ability to be a monster hit in North London should he make any move to join Frank\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n However, the \u00a3100m fee that\u2019s been touted for his signature is nothing short of extortionate, with the Lilywhites paying for the potential he holds given his youthful years.<\/p>\n Other players will need to be considered if the side are to improve within the middle of the park, which could see cheaper alternatives put forward by the hierarchy.<\/p>\n It\u2019s safe to say Jashari could be the perfect star in such a department, that\u2019s if his figures in Belgium last season are anything to go by – hopefully transferring such tallies across to England with him.<\/p>\n The midfielder, who\u2019s been labelled \u201cseriously talented<\/a>\u201d by analyst Ben Mattinson, managed to register a 61% take-on success<\/a>, along with 2.2 carries into the final third – showcasing his ability to get the ball into attacking areas.<\/p>\n He\u2019s managed to add the final product to his mazy runs, completing 7.3 passes into the final third per 90<\/a>, 1.3 of which were defined as key passes, with both of his tallies higher than those of Wharton during the 2024\/25 campaign.<\/p>\n How Jashari

combined goals and assists last year – handing Frank\u2019s side a superb talent that\u2019s arguably a better addition than the Palace star.<\/p>\n \u00a332m may appear to be a hefty sum splashed out on a player who may not be proven in England\u2019s top-flight, but from the aforementioned stats produced, it\u2019s evident he\u2019s a player with huge potential.<\/p>\n If he can carry such form over to the Premier League, it could allow the hierarchy to forget about a move for Wharton, subsequently avoiding the added tax around English players and landing another huge talent for Frank’s side in the Dane’s hunt for success in North London.<\/p>\n\n The latest on Spurs\u2019 hunt for new additions this summer<\/strong>
