Johan Lange may know exactly where to go to give Thomas Frank what he needs to complete his Tottenham Hotspur squad for the 2025/26 season.
Spurs' transfer business has been moderate this summer, in comparison to some of their Premier League rivals, with four signings made so far.
One of those - Mathys Tel - was already at the club following a half-season loan last year, a deal that was turned permanent this summer.
Kota Takai, Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha - on loan from Bayern Munich - have joined him at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
But there are two more signings - at least - that Frank wants to make, football.london understands.
football.london understands that Tottenham are confident they will have the funds to carry out their transfer plans this summer, with Frank prioritising both a central attacking playmaker - as evidenced by the approach and subsequent failure to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest - and another centre-back with a good level of experience to bolster the Dane's options in the backline.
The move to sign a centre-back may come as a surprise, given the number of players Spurs have in that position already.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are the undoubted first choice duo, while Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies make up other senior options. Takai's move adds to that total, while Luka Vuskovic is also on the books, although football.london understands Tottenham are open to letting the Croatian leave on loan this summer.
However, injuries to Romero and van de Ven last season left Ange Postecoglou very light in that department, with Archie Gray often having to fill in. That aligned with Dragusin, who is on his way back from a cruciate ligament injury and it may some time before the Romanian gets back to full fitness and sharpness when he is able to return to full training.
With Spurs looking for a No.10 and a new centre-back, they could complete a double swoop at one club in particular, to sign two players they have been linked heavily with in the past, although it will cost them.
That club is Crystal Palace.
Marc Guehi has long been linked with a move to north London, with Spurs long-term admirers of the England international. Spurs even made an offer to sign the 25-year-old during the January transfer window, but that was knocked back by the Eagles.
Eze is another for whom Spurs are admirers, although football.london reported early last month that it was highly unlikely the Lilywhites would make a move to sign him this summer. However, that was likely down to the plan to sign Gibbs-White.
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move to sign Eze as their final transfer this summer, but they may wait until they get some players out of the door before they can complete a deal.
Spurs could swoop and sign Guehi at the same time in a move that would likely cost £117.5million with the defender valued at £50million and Eze having a £67.5million release clause before the Premier League season begins.
Palace would be loathe to lose two of their biggest stars in the same window, but Tottenham could sweeten the deal by offering Vuskovic to the Eagles on loan to get some much-needed game time.
Guehi and Eze would undoubtedly be excellent signings for Tottenham and would fill two priority positions for Frank as he looks to shape the his new squad in his image.
