Tottenham continue to be linked with Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
Recent updates indicate that Crystal Palace are getting increasingly anxious about the potential departure of their star player.
Football Insider reveals that Palace fear Eze might leave Selhurst Park before the transfer window closes.
They have already lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and as per recent reports, Newcastle are closing in on a big money move to sign star defender Marc Guehi as well.
Eze has a release clause set at an initial £60 million, with additional future add-ons, but this clause is reportedly accessible only to Champions League clubs, potentially complicating Spurs’ pursuit.
Despite this hurdle, Tottenham continue to target Eze, having reportedly identified him as a prime candidate.
It has been reported that the club are willing to make a substantial investment to secure the talented winger, potentially setting a new club record for a signing.
Eze, who extended his contract with Crystal Palace last November until the summer of 2027, have been on Spurs’ radar for some time. His outstanding performance last season, where he scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 27 Premier League appearances, demonstrated his quality and versatility.
These impressive statistics earned him a place in England’s final 26-man squad for the recent Euros, further showcasing his talent on the international stage.
They do face competition from several other clubs including Manchester City who have also shown an interest in signing him.
How this transfer saga plays out remains to be seen as we approach the final few weeks of the transfer window.
