Summer signings Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha both starred for Tottenham as they fell agonisingly short of lifting their second trophy in the space of four months, but Frank added post-match that he needs reinforcements in the closing weeks of the window.

Tottenham are stepping up their efforts to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, according to BBC Sport. Positive progress has been made between the two clubs, though negotiations are still ongoing

Pape Matar Sarr is once again set to play in the more advanced midfield role, with the deal for the 27-year-old unlikely to be done in time for the first game of the new season. That means just one change for the former Brentford manager, with Wilson Odobert coming in to replace Kevin Danso to allow Spurs to be a bit more attacking.

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on signing their key target Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. Spurs are making progress in their talks with the Eagles and the two clubs are expected to reach an agreement in the next 48 hours.

Eberechi Eze is in demand in north London, while Liverpool are back in for Marc Guehi and still chasing Alexander Isak.

Spurs are looking to further strengthen in attack and are interested in signing Manchester City winger Savinho and Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze. City's stance is that the Brazilian is not for sale, though Pep Guardiola has previously allowed players to leave when expressing a desire to do so.

Eberechi Eze could make Arsenal title winners, but would be afforded more game time at rivals Tottenham, admits ex-Gunner Lee Dixon.
