Thomas Frank has insisted Tottenham are looking to strengthen across the squad, not just in the No10 position.

Asked if Eze is the kind of player Spurs are looking to sign before the transfer window closes, Frank responded: “We are looking of course in the market.

“Not only for 10 position but just to see if we can strengthen the squad. The players we are looking [at] are only players we think can improve the squad. That's the right thing we want to do. If we can pick the right player and it fits, then we will do something."

It has been a relatively quiet summer so far for Spurs, with Mohammed Kudus the major signing last month and Joao Palhinha arriving on loan from Bayern Munich.

Frank emphasised the work that is going on behind the scenes to further strengthen, but pointed to Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain as evidence of how competitive the current squad can be.

Spurs led 2-0 with five minutes remaining against the Champions League holders before conceding twice late on and losing on penalties.

“First and foremost, in many ways, I’m very happy with the squad,” Frank said.

“I think there’s a lot of good players. I think we saw a team that was very, very, very competitive, and on any other day we would have beaten the best team in Europe.

“Of course, we want as strong and competitive squad as possible. I know that Daniel (Levy), Johan (Lange) and Vinai (Venkatesham) are working night and day, and they have, by the way, been working night and day the last, whatever, six, seven, eight weeks.

“They definitely would like to do deals early. Sometimes, I think we need to understand it’s not that easy, but they’re working.”
