Tottenham Hotspur have been given encouragement from Eberechi Eze about a potential move from Crystal Palace this summer, according to The Mirror.

The Lilywhites are set for a busy summer transfer window under new manager Thomas Frank after qualifying for the Champions League by winning the Europa League, with the Dane looking to shape the squad in his own image after replacing Ange Postecoglou.

Now the north London side are looking at bolstering their attack, and England international Eze has emerged as someone they have a strong interest in.

Tottenham Given Encouragement for Eze Move

Forward has a £60m+ release clause

After a sensational season for the Eagles in 2024/25, Eze capped off the campaign by scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final to help Palace into the Europa League.

But Tottenham have had a long-standing interest in the former QPR man, who has a release clause in his contract this summer worth around £60m, and they are now seriously considering triggering that option.

The Mirror report that they have been given encouragement behind the scenes from Eze, who has been described as a "superstar", and he would reportedly be open to making the move across London this summer.

GMS sources revealed recently that Frank had already green-lit a move for Eze to add to his attacking options, with Spurs desperate to add to their squad in the final third.

Heung-Min Son's future is in doubt amid strong interest from Saudi Arabia, with the club open to allowing him to move on later in the window a year before his contract expires, while Richarlison is also likely to be allowed to leave.

The club have already made Mathys Tel's loan move from Bayern Munich permanent, while Manor Solomon is someone that Frank is a fan of and wants to take a closer look at during pre-season. Spurs were also interested in Bryan Mbeumo, with reports suggesting they had made a £70m offer, but the Cameroon international wants to join Man Utd.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a significant boost in their attempts to fight off competition for the signing of Kyle Walker-Peters as the Southampton star has indicated that he is interested in sealing a return to Hotspur Way ahead of next season, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Although Spurs have agreed a £5million deal to recruit Japanese central defender Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale, with technical director Johan Lange leading the recruitment drive, head coach Thomas Frank is aiming to bring in further reinforcements as he seeks to make his mark after being appointed as Ange Postecoglou's successor.

Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel have become permanent members of the squad following productive loan spells, with the latter joining for £30million after falling down the pecking order at Bayern Munich, and Walker-Peters could be handed the opportunity to become a teammate in the coming days.

Walker-Peters Shows Interest in Spurs Return

Right-back plotting next move as he prepares for fresh challenge

Walker-Peters wants to rejoin Tottenham as a free agent, according to GMS sources, after his experience and status have resulted in him being earmarked as an intriguing option by key figures behind the scenes as he prepares to embark on a fresh challenge following Southampton's relegation to the Championship.

The right-back has been weighing up his options ahead of his Saints contract - which allows him to pocket £20,000-per-week - expiring at the end of the month, and a move back to familiar surroundings has emerged as a serious possibility as Spurs have been among the sides prepared to offer a quickfire return to the Premier League.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham have made enquiries over Walker-Peters' preferences, despite him being unable to spearhead Southampton towards top flight safety during the 2024/25 campaign, and he has shown interest in becoming the latest addition to Frank's squad.

The 28-year-old, who has been described as 'extraordinary' by newly-appointed Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles, would provide the likes of Pedro Porro and Djed Spence with fresh competition for a regular starting berth if he opts to sign on the dotted line with the north Londoners.

West Ham United have chosen not to pursue Walker-Peters despite being among the sides to have kept tabs on his situation as he prepares to walk away from the south coast, GMS sources have learned, leaving the door ajar for Tottenham to pounce as Frank aims to freshen up the squad he inherited from Postecoglou.

Walker-Peters Still Boasts Alternative Options

Frank facing competition from Premier League counterparts

GMS sources have been told that Fulham and Crystal Palace have also reached out to Walker-Peters' representatives to register their interest as they continue their search for a new right-sided defender, highlighting that Tottenham are still facing competition for his signature even though they have turned his head.

Spurs allowed the two-cap England international to complete a £12million permanent switch to Southampton in August 2020, following an initial loan spell, but he has been earmarked by Frank and members of the recruitment department as a bargain option thanks to his Premier League experience.

Walker-Peters has not made it clear whether he would be prepared to pen a deal at Fulham or Crystal Palace at this stage, GMS sources understand, resulting in Tottenham being confident that they are at the front of the queue to secure his services during the early stages of the summer transfer window.

GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs are keen to win the race for Evann Guessand, who is waiting for a Premier League offer to land after setting his sights on leaving Nice, but the capital club are also in the market for defensive reinforcements as Frank aims to build on the Europa League glory under Postecoglou last month.

Tottenham Hotspur are contemplating whether to attempt to win the race for Rodrigo Muniz's signature as the Fulham star has remained shortlisted as a potential recruit during the early stages of head coach Thomas Frank's reign at Hotspur Way, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs have already wrapped up the permanent signing of Mathys Tel since the summer transfer window opened for business, thanks to a £30million agreement being reached with Bayern Munich after an initial loan spell, but there is a desire to secure additional firepower in preparation for next season.

Frank has been tasked with building on Tottenham ending their 17-year wait for silverware, following their Europa League triumph under predecessor Ange Postecoglou last month, and he is aiming to make alterations to the squad he inherited after deciding to walk away from Brentford in order to take the job.

Spurs Show Interest in Winning Muniz Chase

North Londoners contemplate upping ante for Brazilian frontman

Tottenham are considering making contact to sign Muniz for Frank, according to GMS sources, and he would be tempted to join as they can offer Champions League action at a time when it has become clear that he will only entertain pushing to leave Fulham if an opportunity arises to test himself at a much higher level.

Newly-promoted Leeds United have already attempted to lure the striker away from Craven Cottage by lodging a bid worth up to £32million during the early stages of the transfer window, but the offer was rejected and that has opened the door for Spurs and other admirers to test the west Londoners' resolve with an improved proposal.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham are interested in landing Muniz, who enjoyed a productive 2024/25 campaign in his current surroundings, and they are weighing up whether to test Fulham's resolve even though the west Londoners want him to agree fresh terms instead of facilitating his exit.

Although Spurs and other admirers have been sniffing an opportunity to pounce thanks to the Brazilian entering the final 12 months of his £7,500-per-week contract, the Cottagers have an option to extend the deal by another year and will only be tempted into cashing in if an offer which is too good to turn down arrives.

Fulham have insisted that Muniz is not on the market as they attempt to deter suitors from following in Leeds' footsteps by upping the ante in their pursuit, GMS sources have learned, but Tottenham are circling as Frank aims to secure fresh competition for the likes of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison.

Frank Will Have to Fork Out Big Fee for Muniz

Tactician could attempt to turn 24-year-old's head with opportunity

GMS sources have been told that Tottenham will have to fork out £50million if they want to stand a chance of recruiting Muniz as that is what Fulham will value him at if a big-hitting side comes knocking for his services as preparations are made for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.

The 24-year-old has been described as a 'complete centre-forward' after taking his game to another level during his time in west London, which could make it difficult to tempt the Cottagers into selling him, but Spurs are among a host of sides to have been keeping tabs on his situation as they aim to become more of an attacking threat.

Tottenham are tempted to see if they can turn Muniz's head at a time when rivals Chelsea have also been showing interest, GMS sources understand, and it is expected that he will be the subject of further enquiries from the Premier League and abroad after Leeds looked to steal a march.

The former Flamengo marksman is not the only frontman on Frank's radar as GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs are keen to fight off competition for Nice fan favourite Evann Guessand and he is waiting for an offer from the Premier League despite already having a bid on the table from Fenerbahce.

Tottenham are among a host of Premier League clubs showing interest in a summer move for Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume, according to Fichajes.

The Lilywhites, along with Arsenal and Manchester United, are believed to have earmarked the France U21 international as a potential reinforcement for Thomas Frank’s midfield options this summer.

Agoume has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising defensive midfielders during his 18 months in Spain, and there is growing belief he could be open to a new challenge in the coming weeks.

The 23-year-old, who joined Sevilla from Inter Milan permanently last year, is under contract until June 2028.

Tottenham Keeping Tabs on Lucien Agoume

Among several Premier League clubs keen on the 23-year-old

According to Fichajes, Tottenham view Agoume as a chance to add a young and versatile player to their midfield and believe they could offer the Frenchman an ‘ideal’ environment for development.

There is a feeling Sevilla would consider offers in the region of €20m (£17m) for Agoume this summer, with Arsenal currently believed to be leading the chase.

Agoume, praised as ‘extraordinary’, played a key role in Sevilla’s domestic campaign last term, making 35 La Liga appearances and registering four goal contributions.

The 23-year-old also helped Sevilla narrowly avoid relegation, as the seven-time Europa League winners finished 17th, just one point above the bottom three.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Agoume made four senior appearances during his time at Inter.

Tottenham completed the permanent signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich last week and are reportedly seeking further low-cost market options ahead of their Champions League return.

According to reports, the Lilywhites are also considering bringing back academy graduate Kyle Walker-Peters on a free transfer, with his contract at Southampton set to expire next week.

Tottenham reportedly remain interested in signing Randal Kolo Muani to bolster their attacking options, after previously pursuing a deal for the player in the January transfer window, as per TBR Football.

Despite a dismal 17th-placed finish in the Premier League, Spurs rescued their season by winning the Europa League final against Manchester United, securing an unlikely return to the Champions League.

Chairman Daniel Levy decided to part ways with previous boss Ange Postecoglou anyway, and ex-Brentford tactician Thomas Frank has been brought in to lead the club's new project. With fresh funds available, bolstering the forward line has emerged as a key priority, and Kolo Muani is believed to be among the players on their radar.

Tottenham Eyeing Kolo Muani

The Frenchman is keen to stay in Italy

As per TBR Football journalist Grame Bailey, Kolo Muani prefers to stay in Italy with Juventus despite links to the Premier League. The Frenchman joined the Turin outfit last winter on a loan from Paris Saint-Germain till the end of the season, and his spell was later extended till the end of the summer's Club World Cup following some impressive performances.

He registered ten goals in 20 outings in the second half of last term, providing a further two assists for his teammates in the process. PSG will be looking to sell the player permanently after he returns following the end of his loan, but Juventus are thought to be seeking a loan deal instead.

If an agreement between the two clubs is not found, it could open the door for a club in England to step in. Tottenham were heavily linked with the player previously amid their injury crisis, and they have retained their interest in making the player a potential option in attack alongside the likes of Dominic Solanke and Heung-min Son.

PSG may struggle to recoup much of the £76.4 million they paid to Eintracht Frankfurt to sign the player in 2023, and reports suggest a fee between £50-£70 million is considered more likely for the 26-year-old.

Tottenham must go all out to bring Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo to North London in an audacious deal to kick-start Thomas Frank's era at the club.

The Lilywhites hired the Danish tactician after a dismal 2024/25 league campaign that ultimately resulted in the sacking of previous boss Ange Postecoglou. Determined to ensure that such a showing in the Premier League doesn't repeat itself, Spurs are set to invest heavily in their squad this summer.

Mbeumo is one of the club’s priority targets, although Manchester United are also pushing hard to sign the Cameroonian. While some reports claim he has already set his sights on Old Trafford, Tottenham are still in the race and haven’t given up hope of securing his signature.

Tottenham Must Sign Mbeumo

The winger could be their next talisman

In 2015, Tottenham won the race for then-Bayer Leverkusen ace Heung-min Son, who they made the most expensive Asian player of all time. A decade has since passed, and the forward has firmly cemented his legacy as one of the best players in Tottenham's history.

It proved to be a stroke of genius from the club's recruitment team, but the 32-year-old is now approaching the latter part of his career and Tottenham must look to sign his long-term successor.

It wouldn't be far-fetched to claim Brentford's Mbeumo could reach such heights if he were to sign for Spurs. The winger notched a remarkable 20 goals in the Premier League last term - just three behind Son's best ever tally in the competition - and provided a further seven assists as well.

Dubbed "insane", Mbeumo is the talisman Frank needs to lead his new project at Tottenham. As long as Spurs are able to get closer to the Bees' asking price, there is a strong chance they are able to convince the France-born man of the prospect of reuniting with his former manager.

Tottenham Hotspur could look to complete a surprise move for Juventus star Timothy Weah in the coming weeks, according to reports - with Daniel Levy keen to give new boss Thomas Frank a summer warchest to strengthen his squad in the upcoming transfer window, in a bid to fly up the Premier League table.

Spurs finished 17th in the top-flight last season, their worst-ever finish in the competition - but a win in the Europa League means they'll be playing Champions League football next season. Their squad will need replenishing as a result and that could see Weah join to improve their ranks across the pitch.

Report: Tottenham Keeping 'Close Tabs' on Timothy Weah

The Lilywhites will have more money to spend amid their Champions League qualification

The report by TEAMtalk states that Tottenham are keeping close tabs on Weah ahead of the summer window, with Frank seeing him as a 'smart addition' to his squad, owing to the American's pace and versatility.

Weah has played all over the pitch during his career, including right-wing, right-back and striker - being labelled as having 'immense speed' and racking up 11 goal contributions for Juventus in Serie A last season. That makes him a worthwhile addition in Spurs' eyes as the Europa League winners look to improve their ranks for next season.

Weah is admired by Spurs chiefs, preparing to back Frank to get their squad up to a Champions League level, though Juventus reportedly have 'no intention' of letting Paris Saint-Germain academy graduate Weah go on the cheap.

New gaffer Igor Tudor sees the son of Ballon d'Or winner George as a 'key piece' of his plans going forward and is keen to keep him in Serie A, even with his contract running until 2028.

Tudor values Weah and his ability to operate across the pitch makes him equally important to the Old Lady, and so only a significant offer will tempt them to sell - meaning Spurs may be forced to use a chunk of their budget to bring him to the club.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Timothy Weah has seven goals in 44 games for USA.

Weah began his career at PSG, but only made six appearances for the Champions League holders alongside a loan move to Celtic, before he joined and excelled at Lille prior to his stint at Juventus, where he has spent the last two seasons.

Tottenham Hotspur have been made aware of Ko Itakura’s potential availability at Borussia Monchengladbach after staying in regular contact over a deal, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

Spurs are preparing for a new era under manager Thomas Frank, with the former Brentford boss replacing Ange Postecoglou earlier this month. After qualifying for the Champions League under Postecoglou, Tottenham will be searching for new additions to build a squad capable of competing on all fronts next season.

Signing a defender could be one of their priorities, after injuries during the 2024/2025 campaign saw the likes of Archie Gray being deployed as a makeshift centre-back. Reports have also linked Cristian Romero with a departure in the summer transfer window, so adding a new centre-back could be high on their shortlist.

Tottenham Aware of Ko Itakura's Availability

Spurs have held talks over the last 18 months

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Tottenham have been made aware of Itakura's potential availability during the summer transfer window at Borussia Monchengladbach. Spurs have been touching base over a potential deal over the last 18 months, and they've now been informed that he will be available in the coming weeks and months.

It's understood that Itakura is finally in a moment where he could head through the exit door, with Gladbach expected to demand in the region of £12m to allow him to depart. The Japanese star's contract expires next summer, and with no sign of an extension, the Bundesliga club have become open to a sale.

Itakura started 31 Bundesliga games last season, but his contract situation has cast doubt over his future. It's unclear how Spurs view the defender, who can also play in midfield, under their new squad profiling plans under Frank, but they are looking for a player of his type. Intermediaries have been in touch with Tottenham about the situation of their long-term target.

Itakura, described as 'unbelievable' by the Bundesliga website, could be a smart addition considering his availability, versatility, and the fact that the will only cost in the region of £12m.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank could opt for a move for a former youth academy product in Kyle Walker-Peters, according to reports - with the north London outfit needing homegrown players to bolster their ranks in terms of European registration rules in the summer transfer window.

Frank will get to work on a side that tasted silverware for the first time in 17 years following last month's 2-1 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final, although a poor domestic campaign saw Tottenham finish in 17th in the Premier League table - and he'll be keen to avenge that with new signings. But despite big names being touted for a move, Walker-Peters could be a smart move in any case.

Report: Tottenham Could Revisit Walker-Peters Move

The club are looking to back Thomas Frank this summer

The report by Football London states that Spurs will have to look at some 'smart options' to help their European push, alongside their main transfer targets in the summer window.

Frank left Brentford earlier in the month to join Tottenham after Ange Postecoglou was sacked, with the Dane moving to a side with European football - and specifically a place in the Champions League - after masterminding two top-half finishes with the Bees in his first four Premier League campaigns in north London.

However, he will have to bolster his squad in terms of homegrown rules, with clubs needing four players who were raised in their academy as part of registration rules - and with only backup stopper Brandon Austin boasting that from the club's squad at present, the report understands that they have considered a move later on in the window to bring Walker-Peters in as a free agent due to him meeting the criteria.

Walker-Peters, who was relegated with Southampton this season, made 24 appearances for Tottenham before joining the Saints - and with a further 126 top-flight appearances for the St. Mary's club, he could be vital in terms of cost and experience, especially having been labelled as 'extraordinary' by The Athletic.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Kyle Walker-Peters made two England caps in 2022.

The academy product is keen on a return to north London, and although Tottenham are set to focus on other key areas this summer, his arrival could be vital, where he would act as backup for Pedro Porro, Djed Spence and Archie Gray, who are all younger and established themselves further last season.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has “given the green light” for the club to sign Stade Rennais forward Arnaud Kalimuendo, according to ESPN.

Though he guided Spurs to their first piece of silverware in 17 years, Ange Postecoglou was sacked by the club just weeks after lifting the Europa League trophy. Despite such an accomplishment, the Lilywhites struggled in the Premier League under the Australian, losing 22 of their 38 games last season.

As such, the North London side decided to make a change and in doing so, appointed Thomas Frank as Postecoglou’s successor. The Dane, who spent seven years with Brentford and established them in the Premier League, has proven that he is a tactically flexible manager who, in theory, will have a positive impact on Spurs.

Tottenham have been linked with a number of players since Frank arrived, as he will need reinforcements to better implement his footballing philosophies. Now, it would appear that Frank has personally asked Spurs to sign this particular player.

Tottenham Want Kalimuendo

Forward impressed in Ligue 1 last season

According to ESPN, Frank has “given the green light to a potential move” for Stade Rennais’ Arnaud Kalimuendo. The forward, who can play either behind, or as, the striker, enjoyed a brilliant 2024/25 campaign and at just 23 years old, will only grow as a player in the years to come.

Kalimuendo, who ESPN reported is valued at £35 million by Rennes, “prefers a move to England” if he is to leave France and could have the perfect opportunity with Spurs. Their place in next season’s Champions League will serve as a massive incentive for the player, just as playing in the English top flight would.

Whether Spurs agree a deal for Kalimuendo, who has been described as a "real killer," remains to be seen, but the French youth international would be a smart signing for the Lilywhites as they look to improve on such a poor domestic campaign.
