Mbeumo and Eze could hand Frank a major Tottenham transfer problem
Spurs could look to bring in two big-name players in the summer transfer window
Now that Thomas Frank is through the door at Tottenham Hotspur, everyone can start thinking about transfer links.
Spurs have not been linked with too many players so far this summer, mainly due to the uncertainty around the managerial situation in N17, with Ange Postecoglou sacked just last week and Frank arriving at the club earlier this week.
The likelihood is that transfer rumours will now ramp up, as Daniel Levy and Johan Lange look to give Frank the tools he needs to succeed in both the Premier League and the Champions League next season.
Given Spurs' injury issues under Postecoglou last season, the squad definitely needs strengthening. The Australian chose to prioritise the Europa League this season, which paid healthy dividends with the Lilywhites ending a 17-year trophy drought, but their domestic form suffered, with Tottenham finishing 17th.
That ultimately got Postecoglou the sack, with a statement on the club's website highlighting that it was "crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond".
Tottenham have continually been linked with Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze since last summer, when there was talk of a deal being done. The player is thought to be keen on a move, but he will cost in the region of £65million.
Then, given Frank's move from Brentford, there have also been links now with Bryan Mbeumo, who is looking to make the next step in his career.
Manchester United have been tipped to sign the Cameroonian, with talk of a £60million bid, but Spurs are also said to be interested, with Frank keen to convince the frontman to move with him to N17.

But those two deals could hand Frank a massive, but ultimately enjoyable headache.
Both are attacking players who can play across the frontline in support of a central striker. At Brentford, Frank regularly utilised a 4-2-3-1 formation with Mbeumo playing off the right.
That right hand forward position has been taken by Dejan Kulusevski or Brennan Johnson this season, although Kulusevski is also strong in the No.10 role. However, that's where James Maddison likes to operate.
Then there's Eze, who was often part of a three-pronged attack at Palace, playing on the left of the three alongside Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr.
Spurs captain Son Heung-min plays off the left currently, but as football.london reported earlier this week, the South Korean is more open to leaving Spurs this summer than ever before, having lifted a trophy with the club now.
The likes of Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert could also play there, although there is no clue as yet as to whether or not Tel will be playing his football at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.
Finding space for what would be the four strongest players in Eze, Kulusevski, Maddison and Mbeumo in three roles simply cannot be done, and that's without factoring in Son, Johnson, Tel, Odobert and even Richarlison.
It is a major dilemma, particularly given Spurs will likely have to shell out around £135million to sign the Premier League duo. But having strength in depth is imperative and they are the sort of players Spurs will need to be able to call upon from the bench in massive Champions League games.
