The England international is anticipated to be sidelined for most of this season after rupturing an anterior cruciate knee ligament during a pre-season match against Newcastle in Seoul, and he is set to have surgery soon to aid his recovery, which could take up to nine months.
Spurs struggled to generate many opportunities against Bayern Munich this week in another friendly where the north London team suffered a 4-0 defeat..
Spurs are now gearing up to faceParis Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup next Wednesday, before kicking off their 2025/26 Premier League season at home against Burnley just three days later.
Losing Maddison is a significant setback for Frank, who has indicated that his team is still active in the market this summer as he seeks to replace the playmaker who often held Tottenham’s midfield together.
"We are certainly in the market overall.
"Naturally, when players suffer long-term injuries, we need to consider that, but generally, we are in the market, yes. No one feels particularly close or far away. I'm not making any statements until something is completely 100 percent.
"If we believe we can identify the right player, one who can enhance the team, then he will be signed. If we can't, then we won't."
Frank also spoke about striker Dominic Solanke who will spearhead Tottenham’s attack in the upcoming season, expressing that he is "optimistic" about his return soon despite missing the match against Bayern.
He then mentioned that defender Destiny Udogie will return shortly, which has been concerning for fans in the weeks leading up to the season.
"I'm not concerned. We'll have more information in a couple of days."
