Thomas Frank remains keen to add to his attacking options at Tottenham Hotspur after missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White.
Morgan Gibbs-White committed his future to Nottingham Forest by signing a new deal at the City Ground until 2028.
The 25-year-old’s move leaves Spurs having to look elsewhere for midfield targets following two weeks of waiting around for the situation to resolve itself.
Tottenham have already identified four Gibbs-White alternatives, TBR Football understands, and one of those options could be landed by making him a key promise.
Tottenham could offer Harvey Elliott chance to play number ten
One of the players on Tottenham Hotspur’s four-man shortlist is Liverpool attacker Harvey Elliott, as revealed by TBR Football on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old has just enjoyed a superb summer at the European Championships, helping England U-21 to win the competition.
The Liverpool star netted five goals in six matches for the young Three Lions, and he will be eager to build on his successful tournament next season.
But at Liverpool, with the arrival of Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah already on the right, opportunities are expected to be few and far between for the youngster. Therefore, a move away beckons.
At his next club, TBR Football understands that Elliott is keen to play in the number ten role, something which Spurs could offer him.
Thomas Frank was clearly keen to add to his creative midfield options, especially given James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski’s injury worries.
Elliott, who’s been compared to Kulusevski, can also play on either flank and in a deeper number eight role, which would make him a great squad option for Frank.
Liverpool value Elliott at £50m, which is rather steep for a player who doesn’t have a future at Anfield, but surely a price that could be reduced.
West Ham United and Newcastle also want Harvey Elliott
Tottenham are not alone in their interest in signing the former Fulham academy graduate this summer, with many other clubs keen.
West Ham think they can sign Elliott, having recently sold Mohammed Kudus to Spurs for £55m.
Newcastle have also shown an interest in the attacker, although that could now have cooled with Anthony Elanga arriving from Nottingham Forest.
