JUST IN: Thomas Frank shares his decision about signing Eberechi Eze as Tottenham clear Bryan Mbeumo stance
Eberechi Eze Back on Tottenham Hotspur’s Radar as Thomas Frank Shows Interest
TBR Football has learned that Eberechi Eze is once again a player of interest for Tottenham Hotspur, with incoming manager Thomas Frank also a known admirer of the Crystal Palace star.
Earlier this year, in February, TBR Football reported that then-manager Ange Postecoglou had identified Eze as a potential replacement for Son Heung-min, should the South Korean forward depart the club. Postecoglou was reportedly impressed by Eze’s technical ability, creativity, and flair, and had urged the Spurs hierarchy to pursue the versatile attacker. However, as is often the case in football, managerial changes tend to reshape transfer priorities.
Now, with former Brentford boss Thomas Frank set to take charge in North London, it appears that Eze has remained on Tottenham’s list of summer targets. During internal discussions surrounding Frank’s appointment, sources say that the Danish coach has made it clear that he, too, is a big fan of the 26-year-old winger. This mutual interest from two separate managerial regimes reinforces Eze’s standing as a top-tier target for Spurs.
Tottenham are understood to be exploring a number of options as they prepare for a potential revamp of their attacking line, especially in light of increasing speculation about Son Heung-min’s future at the club. The club reportedly wants to bring in a winger capable of starting regularly and making an immediate impact—qualities that Eze appears to possess.
Graeme Bailey, TBR Football’s chief correspondent, reports that Eze is seen as one of the more attainable high-quality attackers on the market this summer. Despite his importance to Crystal Palace, Eze has a release clause set at £60 million, which could rise to £68 million based on various performance-related conditions. This puts him in a price bracket that, while significant, remains within Tottenham’s range if they decide to move assertively.
It’s worth noting that Tottenham’s interest in Eze is not new. The club has been monitoring him since his days at Queens Park Rangers, with scouts following his development closely over the years. That long-standing admiration could now translate into concrete action as the club evaluates its summer recruitment strategy.
However, Spurs are not alone in their pursuit. Sources indicate that both Aston Villa and Arsenal are also considering making moves for Eze. Villa, with their Champions League qualification, may present an enticing project, while Arsenal’s consistent top-four finishes and attacking style could also appeal to the player.
Tottenham are casting a wide net as they search for attacking reinforcements. Another name under consideration is Antoine Semenyo, currently plying his trade at Bournemouth. Interestingly, while Spurs like the Ghanaian forward, Semenyo is reportedly valued higher than Eze at the moment, which may give Eze an edge in terms of value for money.
The club have also been offered the chance to sign Manchester City star Jack Grealish, whose representatives approached Spurs recently. However, Tottenham have not followed up on that proposal, suggesting they are looking in a different direction for now.
With Thomas Frank prepared to sanction Son’s departure if the player chooses to leave, Spurs’ urgency in the market is increasing. They are determined to add depth and quality to their attack, and Eze fits the profile of the kind of player who could help the club transition into a new era under Frank.
As for other targets, TBR Football also reports that despite speculation to the contrary, Tottenham have not ended their interest in Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo. The French-born Cameroon international remains on the club’s radar and is still very much under consideration. Spurs are actively looking to bolster their right-wing options and are aiming to bring in a player who can hit the ground running.
Currently, Brennan Johnson occupies the starting role on the right, but there is an internal belief that the club can still strengthen that position. Other players such as Dejan Kulusevski, Mathys Tel, and Wilson Odobert are viewed as versatile options who could feature in various attacking roles, though none are seen as locked-in starters on the right.
Tottenham’s summer plans are taking shape, and the chase for Eberechi Eze could well be one of the defining sagas of their transfer window. With Thomas Frank’s endorsement and a clear need for attacking reinforcements, Spurs appear poised to make a serious move—though they will have to fend off competition to get their man.
