Tottenham Hotspur Close In On Eze Deal as Transfer Heat Rises

Thomas Frank's squad depth faces early tests as Eze's arrival looms on the horizon.

Transfer Watch

Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of bolstering their attacking options with the potential signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. The deal, reportedly worth £60 million, is pending final agreement on payment details. With James Maddison sidelined, Eze's creativity is eagerly awaited by Spurs fans who are witnessing a newfound ambition under Thomas Frank.

Efforts to bring in AS Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche are also underway following the collapse of a deal for Manchester City's Savinho. Akliouche, valued for his dribbling and pace, could add depth and flair to the attacking squad, according to insights shared by Miguel Delaney.

Injury News

Spurs are grappling with injury woes as key players remain sidelined. James Maddison is set for a long-term recovery from an ACL injury, which has severely diluted the creative options in midfield. Dejan Kulusevski is also recovering from knee surgery, expected to return late in the year. However, the presence of players like Mohammed Kudus who impressed against Burnley might provide temporary reprieve.

Squad Insight

Cristian Romero's contract extension signifies stability for Spurs, with the Argentine defender committed until 2029. His decision to remain in North London, despite interest from Atlético Madrid, is seen as a critical anchor in Thomas Frank’s rebuilding project. Richarlison’s resurgent form offers additional reasons for optimism as his superb display against Burnley placed him in contention for Goal of the Season.

Tactical Notes

Thomas Frank’s Spurs exhibited strategic flair with a dominant performance over Burnley, securing a 3-0 win. The tactical use of Richarlison by Frank's system plays into a high-press and counter-attacking style that suits the Brazilian well. The injection of creativity from Mohammed Kudus, who assisted both of Richarlison’s goals, underscores a promising new era at the Spurs. With upcoming fixtures against Manchester City, maintaining this momentum will be crucial to withstand the rigours of increased competition.
