Imagine Him and Kudus: Frank Green Lights Tottenham Move for ‘Superstar’ Forward

 

Thomas Frank may be on the verge of crafting another attacking partnership as potent as the one he oversaw at Brentford with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa—this time at Tottenham Hotspur. If Spurs can follow the signing of Mohammed Kudus by securing Eberechi Eze, the North London club could have a creative and dynamic pairing capable of terrorising Premier League defences.

 

Frank has already made a major statement this summer by bringing in Kudus from West Ham United. The Ghanaian international arrives with a growing reputation, having dazzled at the London Stadium with his skill, strength, and eye for goal. However, despite Kudus’ marquee arrival, Tottenham’s pre-season preparations were rocked by the devastating news that James Maddison suffered an ACL injury, ruling him out for the majority of the upcoming campaign.

 

This setback has exposed a lingering issue that plagued Spurs last season—the lack of depth and creativity in the final third. Injuries to key players often left the squad threadbare, and their inability to consistently break down well-organised defences contributed to what many consider the worst domestic season in the club’s history. That disappointment was partially salvaged by their Europa League triumph, but Daniel Levy knows that, if Spurs are to build on that success and compete both in England and in Europe, they must strengthen significantly.

 

Even before Maddison’s injury, there was a strong case for adding another creative midfielder to the squad. The England international struggled to replicate his best form last season, and introducing a younger, more dynamic presence into Frank’s system could help elevate Spurs’ attacking play. This is where Eberechi Eze enters the conversation.

 

Eze, labelled a “superstar” by many pundits, has become one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in the Premier League. Renowned for his dazzling dribbling, vision, and ability to unlock defences with incisive passes, the 26-year-old is also among the league’s elite when it comes to carrying the ball forward. These attributes are reminiscent of Bryan Mbeumo’s skill set during his development under Frank at Brentford—a player the Danish coach once tried to lure to North London before his £71 million move to Manchester United.

 

At Brentford, Mbeumo’s partnership with Wissa flourished, combining technical finesse with direct attacking threat. Frank could recreate that blueprint at Tottenham, with Kudus bringing raw power and explosive bursts from midfield, and Eze offering guile, creativity, and control. The combination could give Spurs a new attacking identity, one capable of dismantling even the most stubborn defences.

 

Eze’s £68 million release clause may have expired, but that should not deter Levy from testing Crystal Palace’s resolve. Beyond boosting Spurs’ creativity, signing Eze would also serve as a strategic move to deny rivals Arsenal one of English football’s most sought-after talents—a player who could be the missing piece in Mikel Arteta’s title challenge.

 

Frank is reportedly in favour of the move, with Eze’s contract at Selhurst Park set to expire in two years. The midfielder is coming off the best season of his career, registering eight goals and eight assists in 34 league appearances. For Tottenham, he represents both immediate quality and long-term value—a player who could become central to their ambitions at home and abroad.

 

With Kudus already in the building, adding Eze could give Frank the tools to unleash a devastating new-look attack—one that mirrors the harmony of Mbeumo and Wissa, but with even greater star power.
