Tottenham fans have been well and truly spoilt by Daniel Levy in the current transfer window, with the north London club’s spending tally well over £100 million.

Things are starting to click into place for Ange Postecoglou at Spurs as they remain unbeaten in the Premier League and have already scored an impressive five goals.

Spurs fans caught a first glimpse of Wilson Odobert in what was a rather impressive debut from the youngster, and Archie Gray got some more minutes under his belt.

The only disappointment has been Dominic Solanke‘s injury, which saw him miss the Lilywhites’ last outing against Everton.

With just over a day left in the summer transfer window there’s still time for Ange Postecoglou to add another fresh face if he sees fit.

However, it doesn’t appear as if it will be Ebereche Eze will be an addition…

Tottenham are yet to make their move for Eberechi Eze

It was claimed earlier on in the window that Spurs definitely wanted to sign Eberechi Eze, but due to his mammoth £70 million price tag after the expiration of his old one, it’s not been as easy.

Now, Dean Jones when writing his column for Give Me Sport has stated that Spurs are still yet to progress a deal as things stand, despite many thinking they would.

It doesn’t look likely that Spurs will now end up making the move this window and Crystal Palace now see losing him as ‘unthinkable’.

This will no doubt be gutting for Spurs fans having seen their side linked with him throughout.

Is there a need for Eze at that price?

There’s no doubting that Eze would help transform Tottenham’s attack as arguably one of the best creative midfielders in the Premier League, but this late, at that price, just seems slightly unrealistic.

Son Heung-min was full of praise for Eze when Tottenham played Crystal Palace last season, so he’s got his approval.

But, with James Maddison currently operating in the attacking midfield role and contributing already this season, you have to say that bringing in Eze would only scupper his progress.

With Crystal Palace off to a rough start to the season there could be an opportunity to bring him in around January time if the results from the London club don’t match his ability, with a transfer request a possibility.
