Thomas Frank will be naming his first Tottenham side in just a matter of weeks after being appointed boss in north London. Frank joined the Lilywhites from Brentford to replace Ange Postecoglou.
The Danish coach will be tasked with improving the side's Premier League form, where they finished 17th, while establishing a strong campaign in the Champions League after Spurs qualified via their Europa League success. Frank has yet to leave his imprint on his new squad but that moment could soon arrive.
Tottenham have already seen deals for Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso become permanent, while Luka Vuskovic saw his move confirmed after an agreement was made in 2023. But there is still work to be done.
Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is the subject of Spurs' affection, and the side believe it is a deal they can pull off. The club feel Eze would be keen on the switch and he holds a £68million buy-out clause in his contract.
With more business expected, Mirror Football takes a look at how Spurs could eventually lineup under Frank.

Guglielmo Vicario will remain the club's first choice option with January signing Antonin Kinsky to provide back-up. Goalkeepers Fraser Forster, 37, and Alfie Whiteman, 26, are both set to be released in the coming days when their contracts expire.
Spurs have no shortage of defenders but there could be change coming in the backline. The club are said to have agreed a £5m deal centre-back Kota Takai, 20, from Kawasaki Frontale to add to ranks that already include Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies.
Dragusin is still recovering from an ACL injury, while Romero is being linked with an exit however. Spurs have already been linked to Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, AS Roma defender Evan Ndicka and Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi.
Palace defender Guehi has long been admired in north London, and the side failed to prise him away from Selhurst Park in January. The England star wants first XI football and perhaps Spurs can offer what other interested parties Arsenal and Liverpool cannot.
A backline of Pedro Porro, Guehi, Van de Ven and Destiny Udogie could see a two-man midfield ahead of them. Frank will have to choose between talented youth and experienced heads.
A combination of Lucas Bergvall or Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma or Rodrigo Bentancur could start. With only one of the latter likely to extend their contract perhaps Sarr and Bentancur will be the best option for the first day of the season.
In attack appears to be where most transfer interest is focused for the moment. Tottenham are fight with Manchester United for the signature of Bryan Mbeumo with the latter offering up in excess of £60m in their latest bid - Spurs have already offered a deal up to £70m.
Such a move would see Mbeumo slot straight into the right flank as Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison battle out for the no.10 role. Eze could also be in competition for that position but may well line up on the left to support Dominic Solanke up front.
The club have made Tel’s move permanent, and captain Son Heung-min could yet depart before the end of the window leaving a vacancy to be filled. Eze's creativity and ingenuity could fit in well with Udogie overlapping.
Tottenham's new-look lineup: Vicario; Porro, Guehi, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Sarr; Mbeumo, Kulusevski, Eze; Solanke.
