A summer pursuit has begun as Tottenham's incoming manager, Thomas Frank, reportedly includes Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika on his transfer shortlist. The 23 year old has caught the attention of Spurs following a standout season at Club Brugge, where he played 95 matches and added vital strength to midfield alongside defensive duties.

Interest in Onyedika has mounted following AC Milan’s renewed approach offering €18 million and reports of monitoring by Bayern, PSG, Dortmund, Porto, and even Crystal Palace. Club Brugge, however, remain firm on a €30 million valuation, mindful of his growing importance.
Onyedika’s recent rise earning senior Nigeria caps, anchoring midfield, and delivering key Champions League and league performances has established him as a prime target. Tottenham’s pursuit under Frank highlights ambition to reinforce the centre of the park with youthful energy and robust defensive acumen.
