Tottenham Hotspur endured a transfer window upside down in many ways, making clever additions, but also lacking key targets at different summer stages.
Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha and Mathys Tel have all joined the Lilywhites during the Deadly, with two of the trio cement their place in the starting eleven of Thomas Frank.
However, an offensive midfielder has been a priority in recent weeks, but club hunting for new talents in such a region has so far been in vain.
Morgan Gibbs-White and Ebechi Eze were two players with whom the hierarchy was in contact to try to get high level talents for Frank during his first Premier League campaign at the helm.
His team failed to conclude agreements for one or the other of the aforementioned stars, the latter joining Arsenal to the rivals from northern London – leading to other options considered before the deadline of next week.
Spurs hunting to win a new offensive midfielder this summer
Over the past two days, the Spurs would have made an offer to the star of the Como Nico Paz, the hierarchy obviously wanting to support the new manager in his quest.
The offer was in the region of 61 million pounds sterling for the talent of 20 years, but team A of Serie A rejected the proposal, the player himself should stay in Italy beyond the summer window.
However, their attempts on the market were not deterred, later turning their attention to the star of Aston Villa Morgan Rogers, according to Football Insider.
Their report says that Frank’s team participated in talks with the men of Unai Emery for a potential agreement this summer, the negotiations being so far positive.
The article also indicates that its current employers do not want to unload the international in England this summer, valuing it at 100 million pounds sterling, but could be forced to sell it to satisfy their PSR if a huge offer is made.
Why the last target of Spurs is a greater talent than Paz
PAZ has emerged as a surprise target for the Spurs lately, but it is understandable by diving its figures from the last SERIE A campaign.
Their interest in a new number ten is obvious after James Maddison and Dejan Kuluski underwent new reversals of injury, the two are ready to go out until 2026 at the earliest.
However, the Argentinian can have the tools to fill such a vacuum, score six goals and record eight assists at the Cesc Fàgas team throughout the 2024/25 campaign.
Paz also made a stellar start for the new season, pulling a spectacular free kick at home while marking a decisive pass in 2-0 victory against Lazio last weekend.
It is undeniable that it would be a superb addition, but after only a year in the first five leagues in Europe, it could also be a risk, spending a lot of money for a star who could never reach such levels again.
An agreement for Rogers would be an excellent pick -up, with the Englishman who prospered in the high flight of England in recent years – having experience in such a division which would make him immediate success with the base of fans.
It will probably be an expensive addition, costing about 80 million pounds sterling, but has a better set of skills than PAZ – as we can see when compared to their respective 2024/25 campaign statistics.
Rogers, who was labeled “phenomenal” by Lee Hendrie, recorded a higher count of goals and combined aids, while posting a better shot on the target precision rate – offering Frank de Frank an additional threat to the goal.
If the 23 -year -old man reproduced such figures in northern London, he would add this additional quality in the last third, the hierarchy hunted – adding to the signing of Kudus in such a region.

It also finished more key passes with 90, with more of its efforts in the last third – offering a necessary creative presence in the role behind the central center.
Rogers’ ability to bring the ball into the dangerous areas is also underlined by its greatest number of spokes in the opposition box – having the final product to go alone or choose a teammate, as shown in the last campaign of contributions to the objective.
It is undeniable that Rogers would be a huge addition to the team, but it has the potential to improve in the years to come in the north of London, given its tender age.
The hierarchy must pay the sum of its signature to avoid missing the star of the villa, undoubtedly offering a more complete option than PAZ in the immediate and long -term future.
