Frank: Spurs “Very Alert” in January Transfer Window After Kudus Injury and Johnson Exit

Thomas Frank has insisted Tottenham Hotspur remain “very alert” in the January transfer window as the club’s attacking options take another hit following Mohammed Kudus’ injury, coming soon after Brennan Johnson’s departure.

Spurs are already light in forward areas after Johnson completed his move away earlier this month, and concerns have now deepened with Kudus sidelined after picking up an injury that is expected to keep him out for several weeks. The setback leaves Frank with limited depth in key attacking positions at a crucial stage of the season.

Speaking after the latest blow, Frank acknowledged the challenge but stressed that the club are actively monitoring the market.

> “We are very alert,” Frank said. “We knew January could be important for us, and with what has happened recently, it’s clear we need to be ready. We are working closely with the recruitment team to see what opportunities are available.”

Tottenham have endured an inconsistent campaign and currently find themselves battling to climb back into contention for European places. Injuries and squad turnover have played a major role in their struggles, and Frank admitted that balance and availability are now major priorities.

> “You always want stability, but football doesn’t always give you that,” he added. “What matters is how you respond. If the right player is available and can improve us, we won’t hesitate.”

While Spurs are not expected to panic-buy, sources suggest the club are exploring options for a versatile forward who can operate across the front line. Any potential deal, however, is likely to depend on value and suitability rather than short-term fixes.

For now, Frank will look to make the most of his remaining resources, but with the transfer window entering a decisive phase, Tottenham’s “very alert” stance signals that movement could yet follow if the right opportunity arises.
