Tottenham want to make a ‘statement signing’ by bringing in Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze

The 2025 summer window is a crucial one for Tottenham Hotspur, who are expected to strengthen their squad following their return to the UEFA Champions League.

Spurs have agreed a deal with Kawasaki Frontale to sign Japanese defensive prospect Kota Takai earlier this week, after the permanent captures of Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel. More additions are expected to be made before the summer window slams shut, particularly further up the pitch, as the Lilywhites aim to compete on multiple fronts during the 2025/26 season.

Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze has been one of Tottenham’s top summer targets. The North Londoners are eyeing a move for the England international as ‘statement signing’ in a bid to bolster their attacking ranks. The 26-year-old, who moved to Crystal Palace from Queens Park Rangers in 2020, has a £68m release clause in his contract, which Spurs are certainly wary of.

Eberechi Eze has been fantastic for the Eagles, scoring 40 goals and providing 28 assists in 167 appearances, including the strike that won the FA Cup in May. He was the club’s MVP in their successful FA Cup campaign, scoring in the quarter-finals, semi-final, and of course, the final against Manchester City.

The Greenwich-born talent’s potential move to Spurs could spell danger for James Maddison. Maddison and Eze are proper playmakers and have thrived in the No.10 role for their respective clubs.

The Tottenham star enjoyed a strong last season, delivering 23 goal contributions in 45 outings. However, the 28-year-old’s story with injuries continued as he suffered a serious knee injury in May that forced to miss him the Europa League final. He is expected to be out for a couple of months, which has raised question marks over his future under the new boss at N17.

Now, ex-Spurs scout Bryan King has questioned whether Maddison and Eze can play together at Tottenham.

Maddison and Eze are technically gifted, intelligent playmakers who’d improve any team in the Premier League. Despite both preferring to play centrally, they can co-exist and thrive in Frank’s system. It is worth noting that Eze can also operate off the left, and with Son Heung-min entering the twilight of his career, his long-term position could be on that flank at Spurs if signed. This would then allow Maddison to wreak havoc centrally whilst combining with Eze in the half spaces.

Back in June 2023, Maddison had congratulated Eze on making his England debut in a 4–0 UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying win against Malta. He wrote under the Palace ace’s Instagram post: “Deserved. Baller.”

Considering Spurs need a bigger and stronger squad next season, fans would hope to see Maddison and Eze flourish if the latter is signed this summer.

Tottenham need to generate funds to back Thomas Frank in the summer

Tottenham need to be proactive in the transfer window as they look to kickstart a new era under Thomas Frank. The Lilywhites endured a dismal Premier League campaign, finishing just a place above the relegation zone. The poor league position also resulted in huge financial constraints as the North London club incurred a loss last season.

However, the Europa League success saved the club’s blushes in more ways than one. Not only did it ended the club’s long-standing trophy drought, but it also ensured that there was a huge influx of cash heading their way for the summer. It was reported earlier that Spurs approximately earned £70m after getting over the finish line in the final against Manchester United.

Now, the North London club must do everything they can and back Thomas Frank in the summer if they want to succeed under the Danish tactician. Daniel Levy has not made matters easy for himself as he put out a bold statement suggesting that the Europa League success was not enough, and Spurs will now aim for the Premier League and the Champions League in the coming years.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy may find it tough to finance the club in the summer

Tottenham are already under a lot of scrutiny as fans did not like Daniel Levy’s decision to sack Ange Postecoglou just two weeks after the Europa League success. Not only that, but many are now hoping that the Spurs chairman puts the money where his mouth is and back Thomas Frank in the transfer window.

However, finance expert Stefan Borson has pointed out the difficulties Daniel Levy would face in financing the club in the summer. Speaking to Football Insider, Borson said,

“My understanding from conversations that I’ve had is that even if they wanted to, Spurs are limited in that they’ve got the Champions League money, it’s going to be really important. But they are restricted by both banking covenants in terms of what they can spend and what they can lose profit-wise, and also cash.”

The finance expert added,

“Daniel Levy is a very wealthy individual by virtue of his stake in Tottenham, but it’s paper assets and wealth. He’s not crystallised it, so he’s obviously taking very nice money as a salary over the years and he’s clearly very wealthy, but most of his wealth is wrapped up in the shares of Tottenham, which are not a liquid asset.

“I guess he could go to a bank and borrow, using it as collateral. If he’s not prepared to do that, then he’s not in a position to put money into the club either. They are limited by both of those things.”

Stefan Borson has suggested that Tottenham only have the Champions League money to spend in the summer as they are restricted by bank covenants. The finance expert adds that Daniel Levy’s stake at the club is paper assets and wealth, meaning all his money is through shares and it is not liquid asset to spend. Borson also points out that the club chairman could use his shares as a collateral in the bank, but Spurs might struggle for cash if Levy does not decide to do that.

Now, fans can only hope that the Lilywhites manage to find a way to generate funds in the summer to invest in the squad. The North London club must try and sell some of their underperforming players, and use the income generated from that to bring in new arrivals. But, it is not as easy as it sounds, and Daniel Levy must be proactive in the transfer market to deliver on his promise of backing Thomas Frank.

Tottenham have the chance to fend off competition for Parma star Giovanni Leoni in the summer

The problems at Tottenham need to be addressed quickly as time is running out in the transfer market. The Lilywhites endured a disappointing Premier League campaign last season, and must bring in reinforcements in the summer to get things back in track. Not only that, but the North London club must also look to make statement signings to back Thomas Frank heading into next season.

With pre-season approaching quickly, Daniel Levy cannot afford to be complacent in the transfer market. There is a lot of work to be done and that involves cashing-in on underperforming players as well. The fans will hope that the right players are brought in before pre-season begins, so that Thomas Frank gets an idea of his first-choice team for next season.

The defensive problems at N17 have been in the media spotlight for a long time now. And Levy should address them first as the Lilywhites cannot endure similar problems next year. The lack of squad depth at the back might prove to be catastrophic again if it is not addressed in time by Spurs.

Tottenham are interested in signing Parma defender Giovanni Leoni

Tottenham need to bring in new defenders to address the problems at the back before next season starts. With Cristian Romero heading for a potential exit amid Real Madrid links, Daniel Levy must look to bring in a quality replacement that could fill the void left behind by the Argentina international heading into the new campaign.

As per FcInterNews, Spurs are interested in signing Giovanni Leoni from Parma in the summer. The Lilywhites want to land the Italian at N17 and develop his game even further by giving his first-team experience in the Premier League. However, the North London club faces competition from AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Atletico Madrid for the 18-year-old’s signature.

The aforementioned report also states that Parma have set an asking price of €30m for the defender. But the Italian club are willing to reduce the asking price to €25m if they are allowed to keep the centre-back on loan for next season. Inter Milan are the favourites to land the 18-year-old as former Parma boss Cristian Chivu recently became the club’s new manager for next season. The highly-rated manager gave Leoni his debut in Serie A last season.

It remains to be seen if the Lilywhites decide to proceed with the deal to sign Geovanni Leoni. Spurs do not need another young player in their ranks as the club is looking to bring in experienced centre-backs to play under Thomas Frank. However, a deal to sign the talented defender for mere €25m is too good to turn down. And he could also form a partnership with new Tottenham signing Kota Takai in the future.

Tottenham are ready to bring Southampton star Kyle Walker-Peters to N17 again

It has been another slow start to the summer for Tottenham despite the Europa League success that the club endured last month. The Lilywhites managed to qualify for Champions League football as well for next season, yet the North London club has not made any significant signings since the season ended.

While other clubs are bolstering their squad for next season, Spurs are stuck to what they have and have not managed to find the breakthrough in negotiations with many potential targets. The Lilywhites need to address a lot of problems on the pitch as they look to kickstart a new era at N17 with Thomas Frank at the helm.

One of the key areas that Spurs struggled in last season was the defence. At first glance, one may think that it is the centre-back position that needs to be addressed. But that is not the only position that took a hit last season as the club finished just a place above the relegation zone in the Premier League. The full-backs were also exposed and it was clear that an upgrade was needed in the wide areas, given how much Thomas Frank depends on them.

Tottenham are ready to sign Southampton star Kyle Walker-Peters

Tottenham full-backs Pedro Porro and Djed Spence endured a ‘stop-start’ campaign under Ange Postecoglou last season. Both defenders were in and out of the team, and that affected their rhythm to perform consistently for a stretch of games. It was also reported earlier that Pedro Porro was linked with a high-profile move in the summer to Barcelona.

Now, Spurs are set to land another full-back in the summer that could provide cover on both flanks for Thomas Frank. It was reported earlier that the Lilywhites were willing to test the waters for Southampton star Kyle Walker-Peters, despite some heavy competition from West Ham United for his signature.

Well, as per GiveMeSport, Walker-Peters has given Tottenham a priority and wants to join the North London club in the summer. The England international is aiming to test himself in a new environment and believes he can make a mark at Hotspur Way again. The aforementioned report also suggests that Crystal Palace and Fulham are also aiming to sign the 28-year-old, but he is keen to re-join Spurs on a free transfer.

It is fair to say that fans can be excited about the Southampton star re-joining the club. Kyle Walker-Peters has made a name for himself at the St. Mary’s Stadium and is Premier League-proven as well. Not only that, but the 28-year-old could provide cover a right-back, or as a make-shift left-back if the club endures an injury crisis.

The versatile full-back will thrive under Thomas Frank as he would be given the license to venture forward as and when its necessary. Walker-Peters excels in defending 1v1’s and he is also good at putting in dangerous crosses from the by-line. The England international has a good passing range as well, which is key when the team is on a break during a fast counter-attack.

Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario was heavily linked with a move to AC Milan earlier last week

Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario has time and again proved his importance in the team through his leadership and command. The Italy international may not be the best option to have between the sticks, but his impact in the dressing room cannot be taken lightly. The 28-year-old has already made a mark at N17 following his switch from Empoli in 2023.

It is fair to say that the Spurs keeper endured a ‘stop-start’ campaign last season under Ange Postecoglou. For a goalkeeper, confidence and rhythm is everything… and the injury that Vicario endured earlier in the season proved to be catastrophic as the Italian was side-lined for almost four months.

Understandably, the 28-year-old took time to get back in form after recovering from his long-term injury. But in the end, it was all worth the wait as he played a crucial part in helping the Lilywhites end their 17-year wait for a major trophy. Guglielmo Vicario managed to keep three clean sheets in the knockout stages of the Europa League, including one in the final against Manchester United.

Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario is set to stay at N17

It was reported earlier last week that Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario was set to head for pastures new in the summer amid strong transfer links. The Italy international was linked with a move to AC Milan and it was suggested that he was seen as an ideal replacement of Mike Maignan heading into next season.

However, the Lilywhites have made it clear that they have no intentions of selling the 28-year-old in the summer and view him as a crucial part of the future. And after hearing this, John Wenham cannot contain his emotions as Vicario is set to stay at N17 for the time being. Speaking to Tottenham News, Wenham said,

“It seems Spurs have shut down any exit talk about Vicario. I think that is the completely correct decision. Yes, there have been a few lapses in concentration from the goalkeeper. However, he is a leader in the squad. If Son moves on this summer, Tottenham won’t want to dismantle the entire leadership group and start from scratch. Therefore, Vicario must stay.”

John Wenham has suggested that Tottenham have taken the right decision by not allowing Guglielmo Vicario to leave the club in the summer. The Lilywhite Rose owner acknowledged that the 28-year-old does have faults in his game, but his leadership qualities are important for the dressing room. Wenham also adds that Spurs might potentially lose Heung-Min Son and Cristian Romero in the summer, so they cannot afford to lose another member of the leadership group in Vicario.

Tottenham considering making an offer for West Ham United attacker Mohammed Kudus

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has the chance of backing new boss Thomas Frank in the ongoing summer transfer window by bringing in new players to help the Dane close on their rivals next season.

Indeed, Spurs have shown interest in several players this summer, with most of them attackers. They have already signed Mathys Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich. The North London club were keen on signing Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, but their interest have significantly cooled down after it became apparent that the player has his heart set on a move to Manchester United.

Since then, the Lilywhites have been on the hunt for an alternative to Mbeumo. West Ham United’s Mohammed Kudus has emerged on the club’s radar.

Mohammed Kudus took the Premier League by storm after arriving at West Ham from Ajax in the summer of 2023, delivering 18 goals and 10 assists. However, the African player failed to build on his debut campaign and match his productivity, bagging only five goals and three assists in 32 Premier League outings. Yet, several clubs have been on the lookout for his signature.

According to an exclusive report from TBR Football, both Tottenham and Arsenal have held fresh talks with West Ham over the signing of Kudus. The North London duo are now considering bidding for the Ghanaian international, who has a mammoth £85m release clause in his contract.

The Hammers are planning to sell the 24-year-old to hand their manager Graham Potter funds to rebuild the squad after a disastrous 2024/25 campaign. It was reported last week that Tottenham were planning to low-ball an offer in the region of £50m to test the Irons’ resolve for Kudus, but as of now, there have been no update over a bid. Instead, Spurs have held fresh talks with West Ham perhaps to understand their demands.

The aforementioned report adds West Ham are set to accept a deal above £60 million for the versatile attacker amid interest from clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle United as well. But it is Spurs and Arsenal who have shown the concrete interest in signing Kudus.

Both North London clubs were miles apart from each other in the Premier League last season but will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next term. The Gunners finished second in the Premier League, while the Lilywhites clinched the Europa League trophy to qualify for the elite European competition.

Bukayo Saka, one of England’s best talents, has locked down his place on the right flank at Arsenal. So, Mikel Arteta is on the lookout for Saka’s back-up and ideally would want Kudus to essay that role, something the West Ham forward certainly will think many times before accepting.

At Spurs, though, Brennan Johnson did score 18 goals from the right-wing berth but he had a habit of going missing in games. Frank may look for an upgrade on Johnson or a different profile on the right flank, which might intrigue Kudus into joining his forces at N17.

That said, it remains to be seen whether Tottenham actually tables a proposal and manages to beat our bitter rivals to the West Ham star’s signature.

Tottenham-linked Real Betis star Johnny Cardoso is set to seal a move to Atletico Madrid

Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer business is slowly taking shape, as new boss Thomas Frank tries to rebuild the squad for next season.

Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel have become permanent members of the squad following productive loan spells, with technical director Johan Lange spearheading the recruitment drive. Spurs have also agreed a £5 million deal with Kawasaki Frontale for highly-rated Japanese defender Kota Takai.

However, Thomas Frank has now learnt that one of the club’s top transfer target will not be arriving in North London this summer. However, there remains good news, as Spurs could yet profit from the player’s decision.

According to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano on X, Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso is closing in on a move to Atletico Madrid. The two clubs are finalising details of transfer fee and package worth over €30m, with the deal set to be sealed in the next 24 hours.

Despite the Lilywhites having the option to sign, Johnny Cardoso has agreed to join Atletico Madrid. Until a couple of months ago, it was a foregone conclusion that the USA international is on his way to the Premier League, given that Tottenham have a £21m buy option for him this summer. But, their pursuit of the Real Betis star became difficult when Atletico Madrid turned their attention towards the player.

Now, it is only a matter of time before Cardoso becomes Atletico Madrid’s new recruit, handing Spurs a big blow. But the North Londoners are due to receive some of the fee that the La Liga club will pay to sign the defensive midfielder, thanks to a sell-on clause.

Daniel Levy and Co. will be frustrated at Cardoso’s desire to move to Atletico, given that he would have certainly strengthened their options in midfield. The American has been outstanding in La Liga, and started as his side lost 4-1 to Chelsea in the Europa Conference League final this past season. the 23-year-old made 46 appearances, making five goal contributions for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

Tottenham eyeing prodigious River Plate youngster; formal enquiry made

Missing a player of Cardoso’s talent and high ceiling hurts, but Tottenham do have the required tools to lure quality players to N17 and drive their appetite for trophies. It was smart from our club’s negotiating team to add a sell-on clause when selling Giovani Lo Celso to Betis last year, and let’s hope the fee we receive from his sale helps us in funding one of our summer targets.

With Thomas Frank taking charge at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, we are starting to see a clear shift in how the North Londoners operate in the transfer window, as Daniel Levy has started to try and bring in players that are tactically more intelligent and are versatile profiles whilst understanding the demands of playing in the Premier League.

And one of such names that had been aggressively linked with a move to Hotspur Way has been the former North Londoners full-back Kyle Walker-Peters who has been playing at Southampton in the past seasons. But why is the Danish coach so keen to bring him back?

There is a real problem with the right-back depth at Tottenham, and given that Pedro Porro is really good at going forward, he has defensive frailties and also has the tendency to leave his zones, which ends up leaving gaps. So you can slot the former Lilywhites fullback in the defensive right-back role, especially in games where Thomas Frank wants to put in more structure, which ends up either with Porro moving higher or even giving him some rest. And the thing with KWP is that he is equally adept on the left, making him a natural rotation or maybe an injury cover for Destiny Udogie, especially given that the North Londoners are set to compete in multiple competitions.

How can Walker-Peters fit into the system that Thomas Frank wants to implement at N17?

If we think about his Brentford days, Thomas Frank often used to play hybrid full-backs where the players would end up tucking narrow to the midfield at times, and then you’d also see them bomb forward in transitional situations, and with the two-footed ability of Walker-Peters, he offers a unique profile which fits either side of the backline and can operate in both overlapping and inverted roles depending on the opponent and sequences.

So when playing in a 3-5-2, you can put in Walker-Peters as a high wing-back or maybe tuck him into the midfield in the build-up phase. And then when deploying a 4-3-3, the Saints’ ace would offer underlaps or overlaps based on the positioning of wide forwards.

And if we start thinking about his capacities, Walker-Peters has that ability to drive with the ball when needed, and this is where Frank’s liking of full-backs who can carry the ball into central areas is met. Now the fact that the 28-year-old is quite comfortable when it comes to operating in tight spaces and then he has that technical ability to play under pressure will end up giving the Lilywhites a sense of control during the second phase.

Moreover, the fact that KWP took a lot of strides in his game under Ralph Hasenhüttl has added a lot of positional understanding to his game, especially when he is playing in pressing structures (something that we are expecting Thomas Frank to heavily use in transitional situations at Tottenham).

Strengths

The fact that he can play on both the flanks (LB as well as RB) without any drop in quality will bring a lot of depth to the side. And he is excellent as a 1v1 defender, especially given that he is often holding his own against elite wingers. And then KWP will be classified in that much important homegrown quota, which fits nicely for the squad planning as well.

He also knows the club culture in and out, which is an added boost.

Weaknesses

Now if you will compare him to someone like Porro, he has notably less final-third capacity, and he is not going to rack up high-volume assists and goals.

Author Opinion: Walker-Peters is an interesting option…

Kyle Walker-Peters would be one of the shrewd signings given how he can play in a multi-faceted role under the system that I think that Thomas Frank will implement at Tottenham. And then he is tactically good, knows our culture and has done his hard yards in the Premier League. His return would also be a statement that Levy and Tottenham are building a roster with depth and structural quality and not just stardom.

Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite might just stay put for next season despite strong Tottenham interest

Tottenham need to work quickly on bringing in new players for Thomas Frank as the pre-season is about to commence in a few weeks’ time. The Lilywhites are yet to make a mark in the transfer window, and the fans are understandably frustrated with the lack of movement to bring in reinforcements for next season.

The managerial situation at N17 forced the North London club to take a step back from approaching new players during the initial weeks of the summer. Now that a new manager is appointed, Daniel Levy must do everything he can to back him and give him all the tools necessary to succeed at Hotspur Way.

Thomas Frank also has a massive task of replacing someone that managed to end the club’s long-standing trophy drought last season. The Danish tactician wants to succeed at N17, and has made it point to make the club ‘serial winners’ again following the Europa League success that Spurs endured.

Tottenham might miss out on Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite

It is an open secret now that Tottenham need to bring in defensive reinforcements in the summer following a dismal domestic campaign. With Cristian Romero facing an uncertain future at N17 with new links to Real Madrid emerging, Daniel Levy must do everything he can do replace the Argentinian with a quality defender for next season.

It was reported earlier that Spurs were interested in signing Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite. The England international has quickly made a name for himself and the Lilywhites were keen to land him at N17 for next season. However, Tottenham have now received a setback in their efforts to pursue a deal for the 22-year-old. Speaking to Spurs Web, Ben Jacobs said,

“I don’t see Everton selling Branthwaite for under £70m, or even at all, and I am not aware of anything of note yet from Spurs on that front. I think most clubs know Everton’s asking price hasn’t dropped.”

Ben Jacobs has suggested that Tottenham will have to pay a minimum fee of around £70m to land Jarrad Branthwaite. The journalist also adds that there is a possibility that Everton do not sell the defender in the summer. Jacobs pointed out that Spurs have still not made any advances for the 22-year-old, and the Toffees will not lower their asking price in the coming weeks.

The Lilywhites are ready to kickstart a new era at N17 following Thomas Frank’s arrival. The Danish tactician must build on the Europa League success next season. And for that, he must be backed in the summer so that he can get the right players in for his setup. If the deal to sign Jarrad Branthwaite looks tough, then Daniel Levy must focus on other defenders instead.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will get the chance to work with Fabio Paratici again

The good times may just be around the corner for Tottenham as the club’s hierarchy might see some major changes in the coming weeks. The Lilywhites have already appointed a new CEO in Vinai Venkatesham, and now the North London club is all set to hire another high-profile person to lead the sporting decisions at N17.

It was reported earlier that Spurs were willing to hire Fabio Paratici again after his ban got over in July. The Italian has played a huge part in helping the club move forward in recent years, and he has also made a lasting impression at N17 due to his smart moves to bring in reliable players. The aforementioned report also suggested that Tottenham fended off competition from AC Milan for his services.

This is good news for the North London club as Fabio Paratici played a crucial part in helping Spurs end their long-standing trophy drought last season. Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro, and Dejan Kulusevki are some of the players that the Italian managed to sign for the Lilywhites during his time at N17 before his ban.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy ‘excited’ to work with Fabio Paratici

Tottenham are on their way to build on the Europa League success and the club has decided to make a statement by hiring Fabio Paratici as their sporting director once his ban ends. The Italian has already done wonders for the Lilywhites during his two-year stint at N17, and fans will be keen to see how the 52-year-old goes about his business once he arrives on an official capacity in the coming weeks.

Now, Graeme Bailey has shared keen Daniel Levy was to bring Fabio Paratici to Spurs. Speaking to TBR Football, Bailey said,

“Paratici is Daniel Levy’s closest confidant in football, there is nobody he trusts more. He is already actively involved this summer, and that will continue beyond. But clearly, an agreement on a permanent new deal can and will be done after the transfer window.”

The journalist added,

“Spurs will need to do it, he is hugely respected in football. Paratici had interest from the Saudi Pro League, Italy and England. Daniel fought for him in the summer when AC Milan came calling for Paratici and he does not want to lose him now.”

Graeme Bailey has suggested that Daniel Levy trusts Fabio Paratici more than anyone in the footballing world. The journalist added that the Italian is already involved in the decision-making process at the club, and will be able to do that on an official capacity in the coming weeks. Bailey also points out that Levy fended off interests from Saudi, Italy, and England to land the 52-year-old as he was eager to work with the ex-Juventus sporting director.
