"In the end, Tottenham Hotspur's failure to sign Eberechi Eze may not sting most for the supporters who have seen this story before, or even for Daniel Levy, whose stewardship will again come under fire. The one left grappling with the consequences is Thomas Frank, handed the task of guiding Spurs into the new season without a fit, creative midfielder."
"Frank's challenge is formidable. The stated ambition for his first year at Tottenham was to compete on all four fronts. Yet the squad available to him as the season begins is weaker than the one Ange Postecoglou managed at the end of last year - a campaign that fizzled out with a run of injuries and frustrations across competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur failed to sign Eberechi Eze, leaving the club short of a fit, creative midfielder following injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Thomas Frank inherits a squad viewed as weaker than the one at the end of the previous season, undermining ambitions to compete on all fronts. Eze's release clause, staggered payments, and a fraught transfer history between the clubs complicated talks. Eze's longstanding affinity for Arsenal further reduced Tottenham's chances. Tottenham pursued Morgan Gibbs-White but lost that option when he extended at Nottingham Forest. Personal terms and a fee were later agreed with Palace, but delays followed.
