It has now been revealed what Thomas Frank asked of the Tottenham hierarchy after James Maddison picked up an ACL injury, and the club may fall well short of delivering that.
Just a few days ago, Tottenham fans were living in dreamland, with speculation claiming that Spurs were making progress in their efforts to sign Savinho and Eberechi Eze.
However, it emerged a few days ago that Pep Guardiola had decided that he wants to keep Savinho at the club, and last evening, an even bigger blow arrived.
According to various sources, Arsenal have now successfully managed to hijack Tottenham’s move for Eze, who is expected to complete a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Thomas Frank has been left without a Tottenham number ten
Maddison is expected to miss the majority of the season after injuring his ACL, while some sources indicate that Dejan Kulusevski is also some way away from returning to the pitch.
It has now been revealed by The Times that when Maddison went down with an injury, Frank made a clear request to the Tottenham hierarchy.
The Dane told Daniel Levy, Johan Lange and co that he wants not one, but two number tens before the transfer window closes, one of whom was Eze.
After the collapse of Tottenham’s pursuit of the Palace star, the club are now in danger of failing to add any attacking midfielder to the squad before the end of the month.
Spurs have time but they now run the risk of panic buying
10 days is still a long time in the transfer window, and a few deals can be done in that time if there is a will to do them.
However, the reality is that the best options for the number ten role have already gone, and any singing that Spurs now bring in are not going to be at the level of Morgan Gibbs-White or Eze, who are among the best in their position across the Premier League.
There is now a risk that the Lilywhites may panic buy in the final weeks of the window to appease the fans, and that is certainly not a great recipe for success.
