Tottenham have suffered a major blow in their pursuit of Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze.
The North London club have a long-standing interest in the services of Eberechi Eze and they are keen on signing the Crystal Palace star ahead of next season. But, according to a report from Football Insider, they have suffered a blow in their pursuit of the English international as the Eagles are willing to do everything in their power to keep him at Selhurst Park.
Eze has had a sensational rise since joining Palace back in 2020. He has established himself as one of the most exciting players in the English top flight and multiple top clubs want to prise him away from the Eagles. While injuries did restrict him to 31 appearances last season, the 26-year-old still finished with 11 goals and six assists. His performances have helped him earn a spot in Gareth Southgate’s team who are in the finals of the Euro 2024.
The Crystal Palace attacking midfielder finds himself on the wishlist of Tottenham who want to add more firepower to their attack. Ange Postecoglou wants someone who can compete with James Maddison for a place in the starting XI. He also seeks depth on the flanks and Eze could be an ideal signing as he can feature in both roles.
While Tottenham are serious about their pursuit of Eze, Palace’s reluctance to sell will be a major blow. Oliver Glasner is determined to keep him and Marc Guehi in his squad at all costs, especially with Michael Olise leaving the club to join Bayern Munich. Crystal Palace believe that Eze could play a pivotal role for them during the 2024/25 campaign.
