A new update has emerged on whether Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Eberechi Eze, and it contradicts a different report.
Eberechi Eze to Tottenham Hotspur, where do we begin? With each passing day, Spurs supporters wait in anticipation for the 27-year-old to be announced as the club’s latest signing.
However, nobody seems too sure about what is actually going on. Different news outlets are reporting stories which fail to match up and at this current moment in time, Eze remains a Crystal Palace player.
Recently, Fabrizio Romano said Tottenham have an 85 per cent chance of signing Eze. An even more promising story was broken by Sacha Tavolieri, as he claimed Eze’s move to Tottenham was imminent.
Best of all, Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe said Tottenham had reached a verbal agreement with Crystal Palace for Eze.
Sky Sports refute claims Tottenham have sealed Eberechi Eze agreement
After a number of stories all pointing toward Eze joining Spurs, Sky Sports have revealed some frustrating news on the Eze front.
According to the sports news outlet, Tottenham have made no agreement with Crystal Palace to sign Eze. As a result, talks are still ongoing between the two parties.
MORE SPURS STORIES
It was previously reported that Crystal Palace are playing hardball with Tottenham over Eze, while Oliver Glasner said he expected Eze to start for Crystal Palace on Thursday. Therefore, it could be that Spurs do eventually agree a deal, but it will not be completed immediately.
Eze wants to join Spurs this summer
Eze has told some of his England teammates he wants to join Tottenham. He is eager to make the step up to Champions League football, which, in theory, could accelerate the move.
However, if anything was learned from the Morgan Gibbs-White saga, it is that things can very quickly change. Eze has just won the FA Cup and Community Shield and it is not unimaginable that he could somehow be persuaded to remain in South London.
To prevent any dramatic twists, Tottenham must finalise their negotiations and get Eze confirmed at the earliest possible date. Finding an alternative at this point in the transfer window would be a big inconvenience, so agreeing terms with Palace is a must.
