Tottenham Hotspur will start the new Premier League campaign at home to Burnley and they could have four new players starting the fixture.

Thomas Frank has learned his first ten matches as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, with the first being against Scott Parker’s newly promoted team.

The Danish manager will be eager to make plenty of additions to his Spurs squad before the clash as he looks to make a quick start to life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

TBR Football predict that Frank could make as many as four signings ahead of the opening game, all of whom could be lining up against the Clarets on the opening weekend.

Eberechi Eze, Lucas Chevalier, Maxime Esteve and Douglas Luiz could be part of Tottenham’s team vs Burnley

Eberechi Eze, Lucas Chevalier, Maxime Esteve and Douglas Luiz could be among the four new players starting in Tottenham’s game against Burnley.

One of the priorities this summer for the Lilywhites is to sign a new attacker who can fill several roles across the front line.

Eze could be the perfect fit as he can provide cover for James Maddison in the number ten role and be the long-term successor for Son Heung-min.

As reported by TBR Football, Eze told Crystal Palace he’s ready to leave and now could be the moment Spurs finally make their move for the player with a £68 million release clause.

There could also be a change in the number one jersey at Tottenham as TBR Football has learned that Tottenham are open to selling Guglielmo Vicario.

Lille shot-stopper Lucas Chevalier is one of the options Spurs have been looking at, along with Burnley’s James Trafford.

There could even be one player making the switch between Tottenham and Burnley in Maxime Esteve, with the North London club returning for the French defender.

Tottenham bid £20m for Esteve back in January and with Cristian Romero’s future unclear, the 23-year-old could be a great fit for Frank’s team.

Finally, Juventus are ready to sell Douglas Luiz and for £34 million, he could be a brilliant pick up for Spurs given his Premier League experience.

Son Heung-min, Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario could all leave Tottenham

Son is one of the players who could make a shock departure this summer, with plenty of options open for him to make his exit after ten years in North London.

Daniel Levy wants £50m for Son and he could get that with the Saudi Pro League keen to bring him to the Middle East.

The South Korean star could leave as a hero having just become the first Spurs captain to lift a major trophy since Ledley King in 2008.

Vicario has interest from AC Milan, who are ready to sign a new goalkeeper, meanwhile, Cristian Romero is wanted by Atletico Madrid.
