Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze this summer.
According to a report from The Guardian, they have already discussed a potential move with the players’ agency. Tottenham have close ties with his representatives. The report claims that they want to make him Thomas Frank’s statement signing this summer.
They need to improve their attacking unit, and the 26-year-old would be a quality addition. Meanwhile, the report claims that the player is open to joining the club.
He has a £68 million release clause in his contract, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay up. They have the resources to get the deal across the line.
Eberechi Eze would improve Spurs
He is capable of operating in the wide areas as well as centrally. He will help create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. Eze scored 14 goals last season and picked up 11 assists.
Eze helped Palace win the FA Cup, and he will be expected to make a defining contribution for Tottenham in the final third. Richarlison has been underwhelming for the Londoners, and Son Heung-min has been linked with an exit.
Mathys Tel and Brennan Johnson can be very inconsistent. Someone like Eze is the need of the hour for Spurs. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can wrap up the move.
Spurs need elite additions
They need quality players like Eze in order to compete for major trophies. They will be hoping to secure a top-four finish next season after finishing in the bottom half of the table last year.
Eze is at the peak of his career, and he could make an instant impact at the London club. He is well settled in the Premier League. There is very little element of risk involved in the transfer, and the move seems like a no-brainer.
