Tottenham turns their attention to the midfielder of Crystal Palace Ebelechi Eze while Thomas Frank is trying to sign a statement this summer.
Eze, who would have a liberation clause of 68 million pounds sterling, guided Crystal Palace towards the first piece of major silverware in the history of the club last season, marking in the FA Cup final while Oliver Glasner turned upside down Manchester City in Wembley in May.

The Eze Liberation Clause has attracted a certain number of potential contenders, including long -term admirers Tottenham, with the availability of 26 years, and the attraction of football of the Champions League at Spurs could be sufficient to convince Eze to join, Palace still giving you access to the Europa League after their FA victory.
Tottenham watched Eze last summer but never submitted a firm offer according to the president of the palace, Steve Parish. However, they now seem ready to come back for the international in England, Frank wishing to make a declaration of intent after his arrival from Brentford.
Spurs are on the market for a winger this summer, with Antoine Semenyo de Bournemouth and Bryan Mbeumo de Brentford on their list of attack options.
The winners of the Europa League were, however, presented costs in the region of 70 million pounds sterling for Semenyo, Bournemouth wishing not to lose more key players, while Mbeumo promotes a move to Manchester United, which submitted a second offer of around 60 million pounds Sterling for the Brentford striker on Monday evening.

This makes the liberation clause of Eze even more attractive for the Spurs as they turn to life without the talismanic striker Heung Min, who has a year in his current agreement.

Speed in search of attack reinforcements
With the top scorer of the victorious Europa winger, Brennan Johnson Tottenham, in the Premier League last season with 11 goals, Frank will be eager to contact a front line line.
This will mean relying on striker Dominic Solanke to find physical shape after a first season affected by the club. But that also means injecting a certain creativity into a team that seemed devoid of ideas for a large part of the last term.

Frank was the beneficiary of the Renaissance of Mikkel Damsgaard last season, the Danish midfielder producing 10 assists for a Brentford team who scored more goals than Tottenham despite a functioning at different ends of the financial spectrum, and he could see Eze as the kind of large and central versatile threat which could raise the attack on Tottenham.
Tottenham already has options on the left. But with the future of her uncertain son, Richarlison struggling with fitness, and Wilson Odobert, Mathys Tel – who permanently signed Bayern Munich last week – and Mikey Moore between 17 and 20 years old, there is room for Eze, who plays mainly as number 10, to come and have an impact.
The priorities can be located elsewhere, Johnson the only senior option on the right wing. But Tottenham is long -term admirers of Eze and will consider his liberation clause as an opportunity to sign one of the most exciting players in the Premier League for a fraction of its market value.

The performances of Eze on the way to a historic FA Cup victory will end in the folklore of the palace, the former QPR man marking in the quarter-final, semi-final and the final when they raised the FA Cup against all expectations.
Five goals in his last five championship games, including a splint against Tottenham, have helped Palace to obtain a 12th finish, and it was this momentum he wore with him in the final of Wembley’s centerpiece, finishing from Daniel Munoz to Low Cross to break the dead end.
The quality of Eze has never been in question, and with his inheritance as a palace, now established after having made the story in Wembley, he may think that the time has come from a new challenge.
