Tottenham Hotspur have finalised the signing of 20-year-old defender Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale, with the Japan international becoming the second signing under new manager Thomas Frank.
Spurs already bolstered Frank’s squad by striking a discounted deal to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich after a solid six-month loan in the second half of last season, negotiating the Bundesliga champions down from £50 million ($68.1 million) to £30 million ($40.8 million).
