Tottenham boss Thomas Frank revealed the club did everything possible to secure Antoine Semenyo before his move to Manchester City for £64 million. Frank believes the Lewis family, who have a majority shareholding in Spurs, are dedicated to the project, despite missing out on the forward. Spurs have only brought in Conor Gallagher and Souza this window, sparking fan criticism.

Frank defended the club's transfer strategy amidst criticism from fans frustrated by a lack of activity. The team's need for a left-sided forward has increased due to injuries to key players like Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison, plus the sale of Brennan Johnson. Spurs currently sit 14th in the Premier League standings, adding to the pressure on the club's management.

Frank is hoping Semenyo doesn't hurt Spurs as they host Man City on Sunday. The manager acknowledged that the club is working hard to improve the squad. He also noted that if they can't find the right players, it's better to make the correct decisions for the long-term success of the club.

With a protest planned by fans before the game against City, Frank responded by saying the transfer market is not easy. A late call will be made on Micky van de Ven for the match. Despite potential returns for Pedro Porro and Richarlison, Spurs could still be without eight players.
