Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has enjoyed a strong start to the 2025/26 Premier League season following his summer move across London from Brentford.
The Danish coach has secured two wins from three games including an impressive 2-1 victory on the road at Manchester City.
However, the 51-year-old has fallen short on several transfer targets in recent weeks, including missing out on Eberechi Eze to arch rivals Arsenal.
Frank bounced back with a swoop for Netherlands international Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, following early summer deals for Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso.
There could be at least one deadline day arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium amid lingering transfer interest in Manchester City winger Savinho and a possible late swoop for PSG attacker Randal Kolo Muani.
Frank is happy with the majority of his current Spurs squad, but he could sanction one sale, with reports from The Independent claiming Galatasaray have made an offer for Yves Bissouma.

Will Tottenham sell Bissouma on deadline day?
Bissouma was signed by Antonio Conte in 2022, but the Malian has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, following his switch from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Despite making 100 appearances in three seasons, his future is in doubt, after being omitted from the squad which lost the UEFA Super Cup to PSG in August.
Frank sanctioned the 29-year-old over persistent lateness to training and team meetings and he's not featured in the opening three games of the campaign.

Injuries have also impacted his involvement, but Frank is rumoured to be keen on setting an example over the standards he expects, and that could push him towards an exit.

With less than a year left on his contract, this is Spurs' final realistic chance to secure a transfer fee, with the Turkish Super Lig champions willing to offer around £20m.
Bissouma has not been included in Mali head coach Tom Saintfiet's squad for the two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Comoros and Ghana in the coming days.
