What Thomas Frank really thinks about signing Eberechi Eze as Tottenham make stance on Bryan Mbeumo clear

TBR Football understands that Eberechi Eze is a player who is back on Tottenham Hotspur’s agenda, as Thomas Frank likes him.

Back in February, TBR Football revealed that Ange Postecoglou liked Eze and asked the North London club to bring him in as a replacement for Son Heung-min.

But of course, with managers changing, Spurs’ transfer plans might have done the same, but following talks during negotiations over Thomas Frank’s move, it appears the Dane is also a fan.

The 26-year-old is one of several options the Lilywhites are looking at as they hope to sign a winger who can start, with Son expected to leave Tottenham.

Thomas Frank really likes Eberechi Eze and wants him at Tottenham

Eberechi Eze is seen as one of the more attainable attacking options Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign this summer, according to TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey.

The Crystal Palace forward has a £60 million release clause in South London, which could rise to £68 million depending on his performances.

Frank has confirmed to club officials that he also appreciates the winger, with Tottenham having been after Eze since at least 2019, whilst he was playing for QPR.

However, Spurs could face competition for Eze as TBR Football has learned that Aston Villa and Arsenal are also considering entering the race.

TBR Football has revealed that Antoine Semenyo is another player Tottenham like, however, he is currently more expensive than Eze.

In their hunt for an attacker, Tottenham were offered Jack Grealish by his camp, but the Lilywhites did not initiate further talks with the 29-year-old.

Spurs’ need for a winger is set to increase with Frank telling the club he is open to letting Son leave should the South Korean decide it is time to move on.

What Tottenham are saying about Bryan Mbeumo move

Reports suggested that Tottenham had ended their interest in Bryan Mbeumo, however, TBR Football understands that isn’t the case, at this stage.

Spurs are very much still in the reckoning for the forward, but he is one of many options they have on their list of targets.

The North Londoners are keen to sign a new right-sided attacker, and preferably, they want a player who can make an immediate impact.

Brennan Johnson is their current starting right-wing option, although there is a feeling that they can still upgrade in that area of the squad.

Dejan Kulusevski, Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert are the other players who can start on the right, but the trio could all be used in other areas of the team.
