At the behest of new manager Thomas Frank, Tottenham Hotspur are working to bring in Nottingham Forest star attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White for a cool 60 million pounds on a release clause that nobody knew about until Spurs swooped in - and one that Forest are preparing to sue Spurs over in laughable manner.
The Gibbs-White signing is another clear sign that Tottenham are surprisingly going to back Frank in a way that they didn't back other managers, including legendary figures Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
Mohammed Kudus and Gibbs-White are two talented, rising Premier League stars who can change the face of Tottenham, but it looks like Spurs won't be done there when it comes to fortifying the starting lineup with players Frank specifically wants.
According to a report from Sam Tabeteau and Dom Smith of the Evening Standard, Tottenham remain interested in Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, who is something of a second dream option for Frank to revamp the Spurs attack alongside Bryan Mbeumo, who already appears destined for Manchester United.
Tottenham are looking beyond the starters
Wissa was recently the subject of a 20 million pound bid from Nottingham Forest, of all clubs, but the Bees obviously turned aside such a laughably low offer for a top Premier League striker who is coming off 19 goals in a single season.
Whether Wissa's signing would impact Mbeumo's future and Brentford's willingness to part ways with the star right winger remains to be seen, but that could only been an additional benefit to Tottenham making a swoop for Wissa.
There is, after all, room for a 19-goal striker at Tottenham. Richarlison's future appears to be away from the club after multiple poor seasons and a lengthy injury record, while Dominic Solanke could benefit from the competition - or even a potential striker partner next to him in Wissa.
The fact that Tottenham are going after players like Wissa and Gibbs-White when they already have decent options in those positions in James Maddison and Solanke is huge and shows a growth mindset focused on having multiple top options to weather the injury storms in the future that have derailed Spurs seasons in the past.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to get another one over on Nottingham Forest, who have quickly become the most unlikable team in the Premier League with their antics, including this latest attempted lawsuit against Tottenham over a fair transfer for Gibbs-White's release clause.
