Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for a busy summer window as they prepare for Champions League football and aim to rebound from a lackluster Premier League campaign. With Thomas Frank now at the helm, the club is expected to move decisively in the market.
One name firmly on Frank’s radar is Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze. While Eze is admired by Spurs’ new boss, his profile might not align with the squad’s actual needs.
Kudus Offers What Spurs Lack
West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus is emerging as a more fitting target. According to TBR Football, the Ghana international is likely to leave the Hammers this summer, and Tottenham are reportedly among the clubs monitoring his situation.
Kudus, who can operate across the frontline but shines on the right, would fill a more urgent gap in Spurs’ attack. The current squad is well-stocked on the left, with options like Son Heung-min, Richarlison, and recent signing Mathys Tel all capable of playing in that area.
Overcrowded Left, Thin on the Right
Here’s a quick snapshot of Spurs’ left-wing depth:
- Son Heung-min (32)
- Richarlison (27)
- Mathys Tel (20)
- Wilson Odobert (20)
- Mikey Moore (17)
Tel’s permanent £30 million arrival from Bayern, following an £8 million loan fee, underscores the club’s investment on the left. Meanwhile, the right flank remains relatively light. Brennan Johnson is currently the preferred option, with Dejan Kulusevski drifting into central roles more often.
While Johnson has shown flashes of quality, questions linger about his consistency over a full season.
Time to Rethink Priorities
Adding Eze—another left-sided or central attacker—might not be the most efficient use of resources. Kudus offers pace, creativity, and versatility where it’s needed most. If Spurs want to build a more balanced attack, Frank would be wise to turn his attention to the West Ham forward instead.
