'The fire fell on the top of my foot. Catch anyone
Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy and manager Thomas Frank flocked to the corner. This is because they are experiencing a bitter taste of frustration in succession in the summer transfer market, where they jumped confidently.
In a word, it means that 'n'n'n't work. At the same time as Frank, Brian Mbommo, who was about to be brought in from Brentford, was taken out by Manchester United. Antoine Semeno, who was promoted as an alternative, suddenly re-signed with his original team Bournemouth.
The highlight of Tottenham's failure is the failure to bring in young attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. Tottenham tried to bring Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest by paying a buyout of £60 million (about 111.8 billion won) in early July. At the time, it seemed like a complete success.
Even reporter Fabrizio Romano, who is considered a first-tier reporter in the European transfer market, will move to Tottenham on the 11th (Korea time), showing his trademark 'HERE WE GO', which means successful recruitment. Tottenham have signed Gibbs-White on the condition of paying a £60m buyout. Only medical tests are left now,' he posted.

However, in the end, Gibbs-White's recruitment did not happen. The Nottingham club questioned Tottenham's exact amount of the buyout, which was included as a confidentiality clause for the contract between the player and the club. Tottenham suspended transfer negotiations and raised legal issues with the EPL secretariat, saying it had illegally found out the secret.
Tottenham slowed down by Nottingham's strong response, and Gibbs-White, who initially said he wanted to go to Tottenham, returned to Nottingham quietly. In the end, Nottingham announced on its official website on the 27th that it has signed a three-year contract with Gibbs-White until 2028. Tottenham were completely defeated.

As a result, Tottenham's only income from the summer transfer window was his full admission of Matisse Tel, who he signed on loan from Bayern Munich in January, and his arrival of Japanese defender Takai Kota and Mohamed Kudus from West Ham. Among them, the only player who can actually contribute to the team's power is Kudus.
Coach Frank, who was aiming for a major power reshuffle after taking the helm of Tottenham, has no choice but to be disappointed. This is because there was little reinforcement of the power at the time of the season's opening. Indeed, it looks like the fire has fallen on the top of his foot.
In the end, Tottenham rushed to find an alternative. The next target is Kobe Mainu, a former Sungal Youth player who lost his position at Manchester United.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, said on the 28th that Tottenham is stepping up its recruitment of Mainu. Manchester United are reportedly not sure how much to give Mainu, with the possibility of making him trade'
Mainu, who made his first-team debut in January 2023, is from Manchester United's Sunggol Youth. Manchester United, which has played 72 games for Manchester United so far, has been the team's main player between 2023 and 2024, with the trust of former coach Erik ten Hag. Although he had an ankle injury, he played in 32 games and scored five goals and one assist.
However, after suffering a muscle injury last season, he lost his main position under coach Huveng Amorim. Currently, it is evaluated as a rotation resource.
In addition, he has been in negotiations with Manchester United for more than a year ahead of the expiration of his contract in June 2027. Manchester United are not active in renewing Mainu's contract. Currently, the weekly wage is very low at £25,000, because Mainu is demanding a significant increase in weekly pay. Some local media reported that Mainu is demanding a weekly salary of up to 150,000 pounds. This is a whopping 600 percent increase from the current amount.
Manchester United has yet to confirm the renewal of the contract, expressing disapproval of Mainu's stubbornness. Tottenham dug into this gap.
Team Talk reported the possibility of a transfer to Tottenham, saying, `Tottenham is closely monitoring the situation after hearing that negotiations between Mainu and Manchester United have reached a deadlock.' Manchester United is also likely to actively support Mainu's transfer. Since Mainu is from Manchester United Youth, if he transfers cash, he can be accounted for as the net profit of the club in accordance with the league's profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR).
