Tottenham Hotspur, under the leadership of manager Thomas Frank, is reportedly keeping a close eye on a forward from Brentford who previously played under Frank and scored 14 goals. Insider Florian Plettenberg has confirmed that Spurs are one of the teams ‘closely monitoring’ the development of Kevin Schade, who has a history of success under Frank’s management.
Frank wasted no time in making his mark at Tottenham, signing a total of eight new players upon his arrival. Among these signings are star names such as Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, and Joao Palhinha. The new manager has quickly turned things around for the team, currently sitting in third place in the Premier League after seven games and just two points behind league leaders Arsenal.
Despite the team’s impressive performance so far, Frank is determined to keep pushing Tottenham forward. One way he could accomplish this is by bringing one of his former players, Kevin Schade, to the club. Schade, who played 74 games under Frank and scored 14 goals while assisting five more, has caught the attention of Spurs, who are reportedly interested in making a move for the forward in the summer of 2026.
Not really sure why this matters, but it’s worth noting that this is not the first time there has been a connection between Spurs and one of Frank’s former players. In the past, Frank pushed for the signing of Bryan Mbeumo, who ultimately chose to join Manchester United, and Yoane Wissa, who moved to Newcastle instead. Schade, currently ranked 13th among the highest-scoring players under Frank, could potentially climb higher on the list if he joins Tottenham.
The potential transfer of Schade to Tottenham raises questions about the asking price that Brentford might set for the German international. With a contract running until 2028 and an initial signing cost of £22 million, Schade is likely to command a significant fee. Previous interest in him has seen figures between £43.5-52.2 million being discussed, which means Spurs may have to part with a substantial sum to secure his services, especially after their significant spending in the summer transfer window.
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like Tottenham is really making some bold moves under Frank’s leadership. The potential addition of Schade to the squad could further strengthen the team and push them even closer to the top of the Premier League table. It will be interesting to see how this transfer saga unfolds and whether Spurs will be able to land their target in the upcoming transfer window.
