"A player who is not interested in Tottenham, we don't want it either."
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank delivered a clear message to Crystal Palace striker Eberechi Eze, who chose to go to Arsenal in the `North London rival.'
Tottenham, which recorded a major victory in the opening match against Burnley, will face Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the second round of the English Premier League (EPL) at 8:30 p.m. on the 23rd (Korea time).

At the press conference ahead of Manchester City's away game, questions were raised about Eberechi Eze, the "Crystal Palace ace" who Tottenham wanted strongly but was hijacked by Arsenal. Coach Thomas Frank's Tottenham strongly wanted Eze and seemed likely to go to Tottenham until the morning of the 20th, including 10 days of negotiations and 55 million pounds (about 103.4 billion won) plus additional options, but Arsenal, who desperately needed to recruit a replacement after Kai Havertz's sudden injury, declared its participation in the war again, resulting in a deal worth 60 million pounds (about 112.8 billion won). As Eze decided to join Arsenal, where he played during his youth, Tottenham faced an unpleasant situation where he missed Eze after Morgan Gibbs-White.
Asked at a press conference in advance against Manchester City how frustrating it is that a series of transfer failures and transfers, such as Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White, will fail at the last minute, Frank said, `Generally speaking, I can tell you as much as I want about our players, but the principle is not to talk about them publicly unless a particular player joins our fantastic club.' "Second, there were many rumors linked to us. Even 'Oh, is that player connected to us? That's interesting.' But most of them are rumors that have no basis. It will be part of this business. Someone must find it interesting to spread these rumors. There were so many links, and there will be more to come."
"What I really want to make clear is that we don't need players who don't want to come to our club. If you're a player who doesn't want to come to this club and doesn't want to wear this fantastic emblem, we don't need it. This is very clear, and maybe our fans feel the same way.' "If you're a player who doesn't want to wear this nice uniform, we don't need it either. For this badge, you have to play for this club. You really have to enjoy it. Otherwise, there is no problem. We don't want them. This is the key message."
Towards Tottenham fans "The club is working very hard to strengthen the squad, and we only want to recruit players who are judged to be good enough, players who can improve the squad. The club has been doing that since the beginning, and will continue to do so until the end of the transfer window."

He expressed unwavering faith in Hishalisson, who was also mentioned as a tying player when recruiting Eche, and Hishalisson, who scored multiple goals in the opening game against Burnley, which is constantly rumored to be a transfer. "Now he's my number nine. He played a fantastic game, scoring two goals. He is the No. 9 player of Brazil's national team and a very good player. I'm very satisfied with the hishali pineapple. Hishalisson also wants to stay in the team, and I want to protect him as well. We have never talked about anything else. He is making a great contribution to our team."
Asked about the number of creative players in the team and whether the club is seeking to recruit the position, Frank said: `We scored three goals in the first game against Burnley. I think I did a pretty good job. "I know that the season is long and you need enough players and players with various abilities. "Cudus is brilliant and creative, and Wilson is very good. Matistel can be multi-positioned. We have two great strikers, Dominic Solanke and Hishalisson, and Brennan Johnson is the deep penetrating type. "There are a lot of options up front," he said, referring to each of the six strikers. "Of course, if there's anything we can do to strengthen, any position is open."." "Dejan Kulusevski will return this season, and James Maddison is also confident that he will sign a player before the end of the transfer window, although unfortunately it will take time in the long term."," he added.
