Tottenham identify two top centre-mid targets but one could cost £87m

Thomas Frank has told Tottenham Hotspur exactly the kind of midfielder he wants at the club, and the Lilywhites are now expected to push forward with a move over the coming days.

Even though the Tottenham boss’s future is being questioned in the media, reports indicate that Spurs are prepared to back Frank in the January transfer window and give him the rest of the season to turn things around.

It has been reported that signing a new central midfielder is among Tottenham’s priorities this month.
