Frank discusses Eze snub and potential Tottenham transfers | OneFootball

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is confident he will add to his squad before the closure of the summer transfer window.

Spurs suffered a setback this week and transfer target Eberechi Eze decided to turn down a move in favour of Arsenal.

The Crystal Palace player’s decision came after Spurs were also frustrated in pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White earlier in the window.

Frank is keen to add creativity to his side in the absence of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, but is confident additions will arrive. Premier League clubs have until September 1st to complete signings.

“We are in the market and we will look to strengthen the team. We have a good squad and good players. I see 23 players working hard on a game plan for Manchester City tomorrow,” he said at his pre-match press conference.

“We need to do everything we can to be as competitive as possible. I am confident we will sign a player before the end of the window. Two players in, two players out so probably a bit similar.

“It’s the same level but that’s good. it’s my job and that of my staff to make sure we can compete. Every club wants to sign players as early as possible, but it’s not that easy. I’m a positive guy, I’m not that fearful.

“I believe something will happen.”

On Eze’s decision to turn down his side in favour of Arsenal, Frank added: “I don’t speak about specific players, unless they are at our fantastic club.

“There have been a lot of rumours, a lot of times there’s nothing in it. That’s part of the business. There will be a lot of links, to generalise that, to be very, very clear, I don’t want any players that don’t want to come to the club. They don’t want to come to the club, to wear this fantastic badge, we don’t want them here.

“It’s a couple of things, the club is working very hard to see if we can strengthen the squad with players who can improve the squad. That’s what we’ll continue doing until the end of the window.”
