Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has issued a firm message amid rising speculation over a potential nine-figure signing, with the Europa League champions eager to strengthen further and add top-quality support around Mohammed Kudus and his teammates.
Since the Lewis family assumed full control from former chairman Daniel Levy, they have injected £100 million into the Premier League side, signalling their determination to usher in a new era of stability and ambition in north London.

The sizeable financial commitment arrived at a crucial moment. Tottenham are pushing for a top-five finish this season and have suffered only three defeats in 11 Premier League matches under Frank. The progress is a notable step up from last season’s inconsistent form under Ange Postecoglou.
Although £100m is no longer a transformative amount in today’s inflated transfer market, many connected with the club believe this is merely the opening phase of a much larger investment strategy.
Behind this renewed energy is Vivienne Lewis, daughter of late billionaire Joe Lewis. Working alongside her brother Charles and son-in-law Nick Beucher, she now plays a hands-on role in shaping Tottenham’s direction.
Vivienne’s frequent presence at games and board meetings has reinforced the family’s intention to directly oversee the club’s long-term project, with Mohammed Kudus forming a big part of it.

Since taking charge and removing Levy from his long tenure in September, the family has already rejected three separate takeover approaches from investor groups in Saudi Arabia, China and the United States.
Their stance has remained that further financial support will be released whenever the club identifies areas needed to push Spurs closer to major honours.
Thomas Frank speaks about £100m rumours
According to The Mirror, Thomas Frank has expressed confidence in the new hierarchy’s commitment, stressing that the Lewis family intends to remain deeply involved in the club’s evolution and is prepared to reinforce the team when necessary.
The manager also emphasised that both the owners and coaching staff must prove their intent not through words but through consistent performances and decision-making over time.
The ex-Brentford manager played down the likelihood of such an immediate blockbuster move. He acknowledged that in the modern game, long-term success is built on a blend of time, smart planning, and the right level of investment.
According to Thomas Frank, clubs performing at the highest level over several seasons have paired careful squad development with targeted spending, and Spurs aim to follow a similarly balanced model.
Moreover, the Spurs boss highlighted that while major fees have become standard for elite talents, Tottenham’s priority is to recruit wisely rather than impulsively.
As anticipation builds toward the January transfer window, it remains to be seen whether Tottenham would consider splashing the entire £100m boost on a single marquee signing, as noted by Football Fan Cast.
