Brentford manager Thomas Frank has set his sights on Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze as a potential January signing, calling the England international an "unbelievable" talent.
The Bees boss made his admiration clear ahead of Brentford's Premier League encounter with Tottenham, where he'll face another of his admired players - Dejan Kulusevski.
Frank's Transfer Admiration
"Eze is an unbelievable player," Frank declared. "I like him a lot. That's not a secret." The Brentford manager's comments will fuel speculation about a potential January move for the 25-year-old Palace star, who has impressed since his £20m move from QPR in 2020.
Kulusevski Praise Ahead of Spurs Clash
Frank also reserved praise for Tottenham's Swedish winger Kulusevski, who Brentford will face this weekend. "Kulusevski is a top player," Frank said. "His ability to create chances and his work rate make him a constant threat."
The Brentford manager's dual praise highlights his keen eye for attacking talent as his side look to climb the Premier League table after a mixed start to the season.
January Transfer Plans
With the January window approaching, Frank's comments suggest Brentford may be preparing to test Palace's resolve over Eze. The creative midfielder has become a key player for Palace, making an England breakthrough last season.
Any move would likely require a significant fee, with Eze under contract until 2025. However, Frank's public admiration could be the first step in a potential transfer saga.
