Tottenham Hotspur are set to be active in this final two weeks of the summer transfer window, as confirmed by manager Thomas Frank himself.
Speaking in a pre-match press conference ahead of the Lilywhites' opening Premier League game of the season against Burnley on Saturday, Frank was asked about the club's transfer plans, and admitted that they could make even more signings outside the number 10 role.
“We are looking, of course, we're in the market, not only for the 10 position, but to see if we can strengthen the squad, and the players we are looking at are only players we think can improve the squad," said Frank.
"If we can pick the right player and it fits, we'll do something.”
The 51-year-old also praised chairman Daniel Levy, technical director Johan Lange and CEO Vinai Vinkatesham for working "night and day" on Tottenham's recruitment plans for the last two months.
"We saw a team that was very, very, very competitive (vs PSG) and on any other day, we would have beaten the best team in Europe," Frank continued.
"Of course, we want as strong and competitive squad as possible. I know that Daniel, Johan and Vinai are working night and day, and they have, by the way, been working night and day the last whatever, six, seven, eight weeks, and they definitely would like to do deals early. Sometimes I think we need to understand it's not that easy, but they're working.”
In terms of who Lange, Levy and Vinkatesham could bring through the door before deadline day on September 1, Tottenham are now in formal talks to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
This follows James Maddison's nightmare ACL rupture, which is expected to sideline him for a large portion of the new season, with Spurs' pursuit of a playmaker now pushed even more to the forefront.
Tottenham were on the verge of signing Morgan Gibbs-White to complement Maddison this time last month, but Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis stepped in to block the move in bizarre fashion - even threatening legal action against the north Londoners.
Since then, the 25-year-old has penned a brand-new Forest deal, and a move for Gibbs-White is now completely off the table.
Tottenham are turning their attention towards Eze instead, but he isn't the only Premier League attacker targeted by Levy and co.
Agents trying to seal Tottenham transfer for Man City winger Savinho
Man City winger Savinho is also high on their to-do list, and some reports suggest that Tottenham have already had a low-ball bid rejected for the Brazilian (Jorge Nicola).
City want nearly £70 million (£67m) to green-light the 21-year-old's late-window exit, but according to The Mail, Savinho has set his sights on a move to N17 amid his desire to become a regularly-playing star.
The former Girona winger is determined to cement his place in Brazil's squad for the 2026 World Cup, with Spurs appealing to the player considering he'd be guaranteed more game time than under Pep Guardiola at Eastlands.
As a result, his agents, led by chief representative Frederico Moraes, have jetted to Europe as they try to force a Tottenham move for Savinho.
The Mail add that Frank personally wants both Savinho and Eze, who'd play completely separate roles, so it isn't a case of one or the other, as widely reported elsewhere.
Savinho bagged 13 assists in all competitions for City last season, but struggled to find the net with just three goals in that time.
At Girona, the forward was a key member of the side who challenged for a shock La Liga title in 2023/2024 - racking up an impressive 21 goal contributions - including a strike against Atlético Madrid and an assist versus Barcelona.
