Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 26-year-old Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze, a target for Manchester United.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Eberechi Eze is open to joining Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, and the development will come as a major boost for the North London club. The English international is valued at £68 million, and he is on the radar of Manchester United as well.
The 26-year-old has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he would improve Tottenham going forward. The Englishman will help create goalscoring opportunities, and he will add technical ability and flair to the side as well.
Tottenham need more quality and cutting-edge in the final third. James Maddison has been quite inconsistent, and Tottenham need more depth in the side. The Crystal Palace star could compete with Maddison for the starting spot. The competition for places will help both players improve and intern improve Tottenham as a team.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay £68 million for the player. They have the financial resources to pay a premium for the England international, and it remains to be seen what Daniel Levy decides. However, the report has claimed that Spurs might be reluctant to meet Crystal Palace’s valuation.
Tottenham have endured a disappointing season so far, and they are in the mid-table positions. They will look to bounce back strongly and do well next term. A club of their status should be competing in the UEFA Champions League regularly and fighting for domestic trophies.
Signing the right players will help them improve. It will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with Crystal Palace at the end of the season. The fact that the player is keen on the move will serve as encouragement for the North London club as they look to step up their interest.

It remains to be seen whether they can finish the season strongly and bring in the right players during the summer transfer window. Whoever ends up signing the 26-year-old will have a quality performer on their hands.
