Tottenham Hotspur have continued to add major talent for the future but fans are still keen to see an impact signing arrive this summer.
Ange Postecoglou is gearing up for his second full season as Tottenham Hotspur boss.
The Australian saw plenty of encouraging signs in his first campaign and is now charged with the task of nurturing some top talent.
Lucas Bergvall has started his Tottenham career this summer having agreed to join from Djurgarden.
Fellow teenager Archie Gray has arrived from Leeds United whilst South Korean talent Yang Min-hyuk is set to follow.
Signing youngsters is all well and good but Tottenham do also need to think about adding players who can make an immediate impact next season.
Chris Waddle on Eberechi Eze
One player fans really want to see arrive is Crystal Palace ace Eberechi Eze.
A gifted playmaker, Eze racked up 11 goals and four assists in just 27 Premier League games last season.
The 26-year-old then featured for England at Euro 2024 and is attracting major interest this summer.
HITC understands that Tottenham do hold an interest in signing Eze, though he does still have three years left on his Palace contract.
Adding Eze out wide or as a number 10 could really hep take Tottenham forward and add another layer of flair to Postecoglou’s side.
One man who really wants to see a deal materialise this summer is Chris Waddle.
The former Tottenham winger has told The Sunday Mirror (28/07, p71) that he thinks Eze is a truly ‘great talent’.
Waddle believes that Eze would predominantly play on the left wing at Tottenham, praising his pace and skill in the process.
Waddle adds that Eze is a ‘Tottenham player’ at heart and Spurs fans would love to see him arrive in North London.
“He’s a great talent,” said Waddle. “I think he’d mainly be used in a wide role. He’s got pace, grace and balance. The Spurs fans would love to watch him. He’s definitely a Tottenham player. He would be a great addition,” he added.
Spurs move should appeal to Eze
Eze spent a number of years in the Arsenal youth ranks but was let go as a teenager.
Now thriving for club and country, Eze has proven Arsenal wrong for letting him go.
A move to Tottenham would really give Eze a chance to hammer that notion home, but also help him push his career forward.
Eze is ready for a big step in his career and whilst Palace are looking dangerous under Oliver Glasner, they are unlikely to trouble the top four this season.
Tottenham can offer a stay in London on top of European football, which will surely appeal to Eze.
Some felt that Wilfried Zaha stayed at Palace for too long and Eze will be wary of repeating that, so a move to Spurs may well appeal this summer – if they can cough up the considerable cash Palace will rightfully demand.
