Tottenham Hotspur want Eberechi Eze and a cash bid for the Crystal Palace hasn’t been ruled out ahead of the transfer deadline.
Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is wanted at Tottenham Hotspur with Harry Kane’s exit potentially allowing Spurs to make a bid.
That is according to The Express, who claim that Tottenham are ‘firm admirers’ of Eze.
It’s stated that a bid from Tottenham in the final two weeks of the transfer window hasn’t been ruled out either.
Spurs have just sold Harry Kane to Bayern Munich and may have some money to spend before the window shuts.
Eze is one target if Spurs do decide to splash the cash having taken a strong interest in the former Arsenal prospect.
This comes after Football London claimed just last week that Tottenham have Eze on their transfer wish list.
Eze was noted as being a CAA Base client, with Tottenham already having strong ties to that agency through past and present players.
Eberechi Eze to Tottenham Hotspur seems unlikely this summer
We can certainly understand why Tottenham would like to sign Eze.
The 25-year-old has enormous ability on the ball, can go past players for fun and loves to create in the final third.
That’s the kind of player Ange Postecoglou would love in his Tottenham side and Eze has been hailed as ‘incredible’ by Palace teammate Joel Ward.
Yet it’s hard to see Palace selling Eze right now, especially with teammate and fellow creative talent Michael Olise set to leave.
Chelsea are poised to sign Olise and leave Palace without another final third magician following Wilfried Zaha’s exit.
Losing Eze in the same window is just absolutely unthinkable even if Tottenham come forward with a big offer.
This seems more like a deal for next summer but Tottenham will be watching Eze’s situation closely as he has just two years left on his contract.
