Tottenham received a set-back earlier today as long term transfer target Ansu Fati who Spurs were hoping to sign on loan before the deadline, is headed to Brighton instead as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano himself.
Spurs have now reportedly turned their focus on Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze instead.
A report from the Independent claims that Spurs are considering a move for the 25-year-old after struggling to agree on a fee for Brennan Johnson.
However, It adds that Palace value the player at £60m which is more than what Nottingham are asking for Johnson.
Eze is Crystal Palace’s best player at the moment and has proven himself in the Premier League over the last couple of years.
The 25-year-old has picked up 10 goals and four assists across all competitions last season. And has notched 40 goals and added 26 assists in 231 senior career appearances.
He is a versatile player that can play on either wing as well as a No.10. Ange is known to prefer versatile players who can play a number of different positions.
If Spurs do sign him, he could make an immediate impact at Tottenham bringing in pace, flair and goals to the side.
TBH Says:
We are being linked with players left and right but it is starting to get worrying as the clock ticks closer to the deadline day.
Spurs are yet to agree a deal for a striker and failing to sign a quality striker could have a negative impact on the rest of the season.
