Tottenham strongest Premier League squad after Mohammed Kudus and Morgan Gibbs-White transfers

Tottenham are making moves in the summer transfer window.

Having agreed to sign Mathys Tel permanently following a fine half season on loan with Spurs in 2024/25, Kota Takai arrived in north London as a £5million signing from J.League team Kawasaki Frontale.

That may not have been the big name signing Spurs fans were hoping for, but they did not have to wait long to get one of those as Mohammed Kudus was unveiled as a new Tottenham Hotspur player on Thursday night, signing a long-term deal after a £55million move from London rivals West Ham United.

Thomas Frank and Spurs are not done there.

Before Kudus had been officially unveiled as a Spurs player, there were reports that Tottenham were in advanced talks with Nottingham Forest over the signing of midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.

football.london understands Gibbs-White has a release clause of £60million which Spurs have indicated they will activate to sign the 25-year-old England international, although Forest are contemplating legal action over what they perceive to have been an illegal approach for the player. Spurs remain interested in tying up a deal, but it may take a bit longer now.

So what does that mean for Tottenham's 25-man squad for the Premier League campaign, and consequently their 20-man matchday squad for the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season against Burnley?

Takai and Luka Vuskovic - signed two years ago but arriving at Spurs now he is 18 - do not need to be named in the 25-man squad as they can be part of the U21 list. As can Tel.

Kudus and Gibbs-White will be named in the 25-man squad, with Kudus a non homegrown player and Gibbs-White qualifying as homegrown for Spurs in the top flight.

Strongest 25-man Premier League squad: Brandon Austin*, Antonin Kinsky, Guglielmo Vicario, Ben Davies*, Kevin Danso*, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, Djed Spence*, Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie, Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison*, Morgan Gibbs-White*, Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson*, Son Heung-min, Mohammed Kudus, Richarlison, Dominic Solanke*.

U21 list: Mathys Tel, Wilson Odobert, Lucas Bergvall, Kota Takai, Luka Vuskovic, Archie Gray, Yang min-hyeok, Mikey Moore.

Strongest 20-man matchday squad: Vicario, Kinsky, Spence, Porro, Udogie, Van de Ven, Romero, Danso, Bentancur, Bergvall, Gray, Maddison, Gibbs-White, Kulusevski, Johnson, Tel, Son, Kudus, Richarlison, Solanke.

Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Djed Spence and Wilson Odobert miss out in this matchday squad scenario, with the likes of Vuskovic, Takai, Moore and Yang also on the sidelines.

Thomas Frank certainly has some big decisions to make, particularly if even more signings are completed before the start of the season.
