Tottenham have made a searing start to the Premier League season under Thomas Frank, with the North London side securing victory in both of their opening fixtures.
The Lilywhites landed a 2-0 victory to Manchester City this weekend at the Etihad Stadium, but there has been plenty of frustration in the transfer market.
The biggest setback of the summer arrived as Spurs lost out on Eberechi Eze, a player who had been central to their plans but has since joined Arsenal, a move which delivered a real blow to Frank’s new project.
However, Frank has been quick to recover and Lucas Paquet is now a rumoured target after scoring 13 goals and laying on nine assists in 94 Premier League appearances for West Ham United.
His left-footed flair, coupled with an ability to improvise in tight areas makes him the type of midfielder who can change a game with one flash of inspiration.
According to CaughtOffside Spurs are now actively exploring the possibility of bringing him across London as Frank’s push for proven domestic performers continues.
