Tottenham is preparing to recruit a huge team. You can put in the highest transfer fee ever.
England's EPL Index reported on the 25th (Korea time) 'Tottenham can offer 70 million euros (about 119 billion won) to recruit Athletic Clube's Nicole Williams'
The EPL Index added 'Tottenham has won five league games, starting the new season on a positive note under Thomas Frank. He showed solid defense and blocked the opponent's opportunity, and showed resilience even when facing a difficult opponent. However, some problems still remain. Tottenham spent £180m focusing on strengthening their attack squad in the summer. He said, 'He showed off his ambition through this, but failed to recruit a left winger who could fill Son Heung-min's gap'

Tottenham then tried to sign Savinho and Hodrigo last summer, but both players chose to stay. Now Tottenham are very aggressive with Nico Young. He is interested in signing Nico in January and sees him as Son Heung-min's long-term successor. Frank is also known to prefer him very much. However, it may not be easy to recruit him. It is competing with Chelsea. Tottenham could also be an ideal destination for Nico, he added.
Son Heung-min left Tottenham for LA FC this summer. At the time of the transfer, there were many regrets about Son Heung-min taking off his Tottenham uniform, but there was also an evaluation that it was to say goodbye at the right time. Some media pointed out that Son Heung-min's performance in the 2024-2025 season was below par.
However, Son Heung-min's gap was bigger than expected. Tottenham brought Mohamed Kudus, Xavi Simmons and Randal Kolo Muani to fill Son Heung-min's place, and Wilson Odover and Brennan Johnson, who were in the existing team, were also actively used. However, the players' performance could not be compared to Son Heung-min. Rather, only Son Heung-min's vacancy is being felt greatly.

Tottenham's choice to overcome the difficulties is a large recruitment. He wants Spain's top winger Nico. Nico, who had already received hot attention last summer, has been courted by Tottenham, Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain. The ability has already been verified. He can play regardless of the left and right wings, and he stands out for his sharp two-foot dribbling and forward breakthrough in situations where there is space. Kick is also a great player and stands out most in the left winger position. Considering the young age of those born in 2002, growth potential still remains.
Nico, who played an active role with eight goals and 16 assists in the 2023-2024 season, also played as the core of Athletic Clube with 11 goals and seven assists in the 2024-2025 season. He is somewhat disappointed with two goals and one assist in 10 games this season, but there is still no doubt about his potential and skills. Tottenham is expected to invest more than 64 million euros (about 108 billion won) in transfer fees invested in existing Dominic Solanke to bring Nico.

If Nico joins Tottenham, the club's highest salary is also likely. Nico is known to receive the club's largest annual salary at the time of his last renewal with Athletic. The current salary is expected to surpass Christian Romero, Tottenham's highest salary, as his annual salary before the renewal was around 170,000 pounds (about 300 million won). However, it is also a necessary recruit for Tottenham to invest that much annual salary. Attention is also focusing on whether Tottenham's courtship to fill Son Heung-min's vacancy will pay off.
