Amidst the contradictory updates we have been hearing on Tottenham’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze over the past few days, a new report has shed light on what the Lilywhites think about a move for the Crystal Palace man, as well as the other options on their radar.
We have heard over recent weeks that Thomas Frank’s number one priority this summer is to strengthen Tottenham’s attack.
However, Spurs are yet to make a statement signing so far this window, with Mathys Tel being the only player to arrive through the door until now.
A couple of days ago, it emerged that Tottenham are ready to meet Eze’s £68m release clause after the attacking midfielder expressed a willingness to move to N17.
However, other sources have continued to indicate that the likes of Arsenal may hijack Spurs’ move for Eze.
Who are the attacking options Tottenham are looking at?
A new report in Flashscore has now backed up what we have heard from other outlets, stating that Tottenham have also explored moves for other attacking options apart from Eze, including Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo.
Interestingly, they claim that Eze is seen by the North London club as the most cost-effective option out of the three players.
They also confirm that Mohammed Kudus is indeed on Tottenham’s radar as the Ghana international looks to leave West Ham, while they reveal that Xavi Simons has been offered to Frank’s men.
Finally, they point out that Brighton pair Kaoru Mitoma and Joao Pedro have also been mentioned at Spurs as they attempt to reinforce their attack.
Is Tottenham’s scattergun approach a sign that Fabio Paratici is calling the shots?
We know that Johan Lange prefers to work in secrecy and keep dealings private until moves are close to being finalised.
In stark contrast, Fabio Paratici prefers to negotiate with several players in each position before committing to what he believes is the best deal.
There is evidence to suggest that Tottenham are taking the latter approach this summer and that ties in with reports that Paratici is actively involved in Spurs’ dealings this transfer window as a prelude to returning to the club in an official role.
