Tottenham Hotspur are keen on acquiring the services of Eberechi Eze ahead of next season.
The North London club want to add more firepower to their squad after an impressive start to the new era under Ange Postecoglou. After guiding Spurs back to Europe, the Australian manager wants to reinforce his squad and according to Paul O Keefe, Tottenham are preparing an offer for Eberechi Eze who is their most desired target for this summer.

Eze has gone from strength to strength since making the move to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2020. The attacking midfielder scored 11 goals and also bagged six assists in his 31 outings last season. On the back of his impressive performances, Gareth Southgate has included him in the England squad for the Euros.
While the player is currently focused on the continental tournament, his future has become a big talking point. There is interest from multiple top clubs and Tottenham are one of them.
Signing Eze could improve Spurs immensely and he could compete with James Maddison for a place in the starting XI. Eze can feature as an attacking midfielder as well as on the flanks if needed. More importantly, the 25-year-old will add goals as well as creativity to the side.
His contract with the Eagles runs until the summer of 2027 and their stance on Eze is quite clear, they will only sanction his departure if a club is ready to pay more than £60 million. Palace want a considerable amount of the total fee to be paid upfront which makes things quite difficult for Spurs.
Understand Crystal Palace’ current stance on Eberechi Eze is that any club will need to be prepared to pay a considerable amount of the fee up-front. A fee that in total could exceed £60m.
