Tottenham fans have been debating the strongest forward line available to Thomas Frank after the close of the 2025 summer transfer window, with plenty of intriguing combinations suggested for the season ahead.
While Tottenham Hotspur did not secure the signings of every one of their top targets, with Savinho and a left-sided centre-back slipping through their grasp, the summer window still brought plenty of positives.
Six new arrivals came through the door, strengthening key areas of a squad that had badly needed reinforcing after last season’s struggles, where Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League.
Credit where it’s due, most of Tottenham’s recruits arrive with much-needed UEFA Champions League experience. Spurs are back in the competition after two seasons out, and that know-how could prove invaluable for Thomas Frank.
Tottenham fans name their strongest forward four
Now that the dust has settled and the transfer window has slammed shut, we asked Tottenham fans on social media to name what they felt was the club’s strongest front four, and the replies came in thick and fast.
One fan responded: “Muani, Simons, Kulusevski, Kudus or currently Muani, Tel, Simons, Kudus.” Another wrote: “When all fit: Simons, Kulusevski, Kudus, Kolo Muani.”
A further supporter added: “Fully fit: Simons, Kulusevski, Kudus, RKM,” while another was more specific in his take: “Kolo, Simons, Madders, Kudus. That is three creative players with a pacey nine annoying defenders.”
The creativity did not stop there as another fan offered: “All fit I think it would be Solanke/Muani, Maddison, Xavi, Kudus. Maddison and Xavi alternating LW/10, Kulu pushing for those roles too.”
Another supporter went bold with a change of shape, suggesting: “Simons, Kudus, Solanke, Kolo, hear me out.” That theme carried on with more calls for a different system, one fan arguing: “Kolo Muani, Solanke, Kudus, Simons. I want to see us play more of a 4-4-2 with Xavi on the left and Kudus on the right.”
Spurs fans excited by new forward options
Heading into the season, Tottenham supporters have plenty of reasons to be optimistic, as the long-standing creativity issue looks finally addressed following the signing of Xavi Simons.
The arrival of Kolo Muani also gives Thomas Frank a completely different type of striker, a forward who brings a profile the squad was lacking and one who could prove crucial in tight Premier League and European games.
Add to that the returning influence of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, and there is genuine scope for Spurs to raise their levels again, with the hope being that the team can mount a push for Champions League qualification and perhaps even add more silverware to the cabinet.
