Thomas Frank drops big hint on Tottenham’s January transfer plans: ‘We will be in the market’

Thomas Frank has suggested Tottenham will be active in the January transfer window after the club signed off the year with a win at Crystal Palace.

Spurs have had a turbulent first half of the campaign, with woeful home form plaguing Frank’s first season at the club.

And while they go into the 2026 in the bottom half of the Premier League table - sitting 11th - they do so off the back of a win after narrowly beating Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park, courtesy of teenager Archie Gray’s first senior goal.

Following the match, Frank was asked whether he will be looking to strengthen his squad in the bid for consistency during the remainder of the season.

"Of course the window will open and we will be in the market and see if there's anything we can do," he told Sky Sports.

"But it needs to be something where we think it can clearly improve the team, if not I'd rather want to wait. But we will be out there."

Tottenham were active in the summer as Frank remodelled Spurs’ attack, spending big on the likes of Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus while also signing Randal Kolo Muani on loan.

However, none of their forward recruits have hit the ground running in north London, with the trio boasting just three league goals combined.

Tottenham’s shortfalls in front of goal has contributed to the club’s failure to do the business on home soil, failing to win seven of their nine games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this term - a record which includes five defeats.

One of Frank’s sources of encouragement will be his side’s teenage midfield core, with Lucas Bergvall and Gray impressing for the Lilywhites.

"He got his matchwinner moment,” Frank replied when asked about Gray’s goal at Selhurst Park. “Very big. Very happy for him.

“I think he's growing a lot. I think he's doing a lot of things right in the middle of the park. Really liked that today. He just ended up with a goal. I think it was very good."
