Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze would prefer to join Manchester City ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.
The North London club are looking to add goals to their squad. While they did cope well without signing a Harry Kane replacement last summer, Ange Postecoglou is keen on further strengthening his attack. He wants more firepower going forward and to be precise, he is looking to add players who can contribute in the final third.
Eberechi Eze’s impressive rise at Crystal Palace has caught the attention of the North London club who want to add him to their squad this summer. But, according to a report from the Mirror via TBR, Eze is more interested in joining rivals Manchester City ahead of Tottenham.
Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of the England international and they wanted to sign him last summer before they ended up adding Matheus Nunes to their squad. Signing the Portuguese star hasn’t gone according to plan and they could reignite their interest in Eze.
Even Spurs have a long-standing interest in the 26-year-old’s services. They consider him to be just the perfect fit for them as he can compete with James Maddison for a place in the starting XI and can also feature out wide on either flank when needed.
With the player inclined towards a move to City, Tottenham will have to put in extra effort to convince him to join them. But, before they can head into negotiations with Eze, they will have to trigger his £60 million release clause. The final fee could go up to £68 million which will make him a record signing for Spurs. However, there is still a long way to go in this transfer saga.
