Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with QPR’s Ebere Eze of late.

Tottenham Hotspur will be in the market for new signings in January having failed to bring in any signings over the summer, with a host of names already linked.

Spurs have been linked with the likes of Ben Chilwell, Frenkie de Jong and Adrien Rabiot in recent weeks, and another name was touted in September.

The London Evening Standard reported last month that Tottenham sent scouts to watch QPR playmaker Ebere Eze in action, with other Premier League sides keen too.

Eze, 20, has hit three goals in 11 games this season, and looks set for a huge future having impressed with his skill and creativity, even if he needs to work on his defensive side.

With so much competition for Eze, Spurs face a battle to land him in January, but they should take inspiration from their 2015 deal to sign Dele Alli from Milton Keynes Dons.

Spurs swooped to beat Premier League rivals to Alli by signing him in January 2015, but then loaned him back to MK Dons for the rest of the season before he joined up with Spurs for his first pre-season.

That arrangement would be perfect for Eze too, with Spurs securing his signature before allowing him to continue playing week in and week out in the Football League, gaining valuable experience before making the step up to the Premier League.

QPR would then have Eze for the rest of the season rather than losing him in January like many fear, and Spurs must offer this deal to QPR in an attempt to ensure one of the Football League’s top talents heads to North London – just like Alli did nearly four years ago.
