Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, and Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on him.
According to former Tottenham scout Mick Brown, the London club could make a move for the 26-year-old in the near future. Spurs could certainly use more quality and depth in the midfield, and the Englishman could prove to be a quality acquisition. He will add creativity, technical ability and vision in the final third. He will help Tottenham create goal-scoring opportunities and open up deep defences. He has been described as an ‘unbelievable finisher’ by Oliver Glasner as well.
Brown claims that Eze could be an alternative to Son Heung-min. The South Korean is in the twilight stages of his career and Tottenham need to start planning for a future after him. The Crystal Palace star could prove to be the ideal acquisition for them. He is at the peak of his powers and he could transform Tottenham in the attack.
“I know he’s one Tottenham have been looking at for a while,” he told Football Insider.
“Eze is very talented and he’d be a good fit for Tottenham under Postecoglou.
“Crystal Palace don’t want to lose him, though, he’s still a very important part of their side.
“I think they’re going to prioritise strengthening defensively with players at the back and in midfield before they focus on attacking talents.
“Then, when they’ve addressed those issues, I expect Eze will be a player they make a move for.
“There are doubts about Son at the moment, so I think they view Eze as potentially somebody who could give them something they’re missing.”
Eberechi Eze will be an expensive addition
The Crystal Palace star is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition and he could cost a premium. The Eagles are likely to demand a substantial amount of money for him. Tottenham will need to strengthen the other areas of their squad as well, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to pay big money for the Premier League midfielder.
Recently, we recovered reports stating Tottenham are leading the race for him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
