Tottenham are already planning ahead for the summer transfer window, with Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze remaining a key target for the club.
Spurs have been monitoring the talented playmaker since last year and are reportedly leading the race for his signature.
Bryan King: Eberechi Eze would be interested in a move to Tottenham
According to former Tottenham scout Bryan King, Eze would likely be open to a move to North London.
King believes the 26-year-old is a high-quality player and fits the profile of a Spurs-style midfielder. However, the pundit also noted that Eze’s playing style is quite similar to James Maddison’s, raising the question of whether the club need another player of that mould.
Speaking to Tottenham News, King stated:
“Eze is a player with good quality.
“However, he seems to be a very similar player to James Maddison. I do think Eze would be interested in a move to Tottenham because Crystal Palace are a mid-table Premier League club.
“He’s got himself in the England setup, and he is a very interesting player. Whether he is better than Maddison I’m not sure, but he is certainly in that bracket. I’m not surprised that Spurs are interested in him because he is a Tottenham-type player.
“A contract offer would certainly interest Eze and his representatives. However, I think he will need some guarantees that things are going to improve at Tottenham, on the pitch.”
Eze, who is under contract with Crystal Palace until 2027, has attracted significant attention due to his performances in recent seasons. His rise to prominence saw him break into the England national team, further solidifying his reputation as one of the Premier League’s most exciting midfielders.
Since joining Palace from Queens Park Rangers in 2020 for £17 million, Eze has developed into a key figure for the Eagles. Despite battling injury setbacks, he has consistently delivered impressive performances, finishing as the club’s top scorer in the 2022–23 season. Last season, he set his personal best, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists across all competitions.
So far this season, Eze has maintained strong form, registering six goals and six assists in 27 appearances, taking his overall tally for the club to 32 goals and 23 assists in 151 games across all competitions.
His ability to dictate play, weave through defences, and score from distance makes him a valuable asset for any side.
With Tottenham aiming to bolster their squad and push for higher ambitions, Eze could be a statement signing. However, as King suggested, securing his commitment may require assurances about Spurs’ progress on the pitch.
If Daniel Levy is willing to invest, Eze could be a major addition to Ange Postecoglou’s attacking setup.
