Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace and reports claim that they have an advantage in the transfer chase.
Ange Postecoglou is looking to reinforce his squad ahead of next season. He wants to execute a major overhaul to ensure they have the needed quality as well as depth to compete with the best teams in the country. In order to add more firepower to their ranks, they are interested in acquiring the services of Eberechi Eze.
According to a report from Football London, Tottenham have an advantage in the race to sign the Crystal Palace star.
The 25-year-old is represented by Base agency which also happens to be the agency that manages Postecoglou, Son Heung-min, James Maddison, Pedro Porro, Pape Matar Sarr, and others at the club. This will surely help them when they look to convince Eze about a move to North London.
Eze has had an impressive rise since making the move to the Eagles back in 2020. He had an impressive end to the 2023/24 season which helped him book a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024.
While Eze prefers playing as an attacking midfielder, he is capable enough to feature on either flank. His versatility along with his ability to create chances and score goals, are major reasons why Spurs are interested in his services. They feel he can compete with James Maddison for a place in the starting XI and even cover for the wingers when needed. His arrival could give their manager more tactical options.
With Michale Olise leaving, Crystal Palace do not want to negotiate Eze’s departure. But, they might not have an option if Spurs end up triggering his release clause which is worth £60 million. Postecoglou is a huge admirer of the English international and it remains to be seen whether Spurs can get the deal done.
