What Thomas Frank has told Tottenham about Eberechi Eze pursuit

As Tottenham Hotspur step up their pursuit of attacking reinforcements amidst the uncertainty over the future of captain Heung-min Son, a new report has now shed light on what Thomas Frank has told the club’s recruitment department about Eberechi Eze.

According to reports over recent days, Frank is prioritising strengthening Tottenham’s attack this summer, amidst the possibility that Son might exit the club.

However, some outlets have suggested that the Dane might miss out on his top attacking target, with Spurs allegedly considering abandoning their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo after hearing that the Brentford star wants to join Manchester United.

However, this has been contradicted by a new report, which says that Spurs have not given up on Mbeumo just yet, but they are also pushing ahead with moves for other alternatives.

Thomas Frank has approved Tottenham signing Eberechi Eze

This report comes from TBR Football and claims that Spurs are still trying to tie up a deal for the Cameroon international, but they are also exploring a move for Eze.

The Crystal Palace man is thought to be near the top of Tottenham Hotspur’s wishlist, with the Lilywhites having liked the versatile attacker since his days at QPR.

Interestingly, the outlet alleges that Frank has told Spurs officials that he appreciates the winger, thus greenlighting the pursuit of the 26-year-old.

The publication adds that Eze’s release clause at Palace stands at £60m, but it could rise to £68m if some performance-based add-ons are met.

Spurs view Eze as a cheaper alternative to Antoine Semenyo

TBR Football make it clear that Spurs will not have a free run at Eze, who is also on the radar of both Aston Villa and Arsenal.

The report backs up what we have heard from other sources over the last few weeks by revealing that Tottenham are also big fans of Antoine Semenyo.

However, it is alleged that Spurs see Eze as a cheaper alternative to the Bournemouth star. Some outlets have claimed over recent days that Tottenham have to pay £70m to land Semenyo.
