Eberechi Eze has long been linked with a move from Crystal Palace to Tottenham.
Tottenham have identified Eze as a viable option to strengthen their midfield this summer.
The 26-year-old made history when he netted the winner for Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final. As a result, plenty of clubs have reportedly taken notice of Eze.
However, it appears as though the Englishman is already destined to head to North London this summer.
Tottenham need to make Eze their number one target
Tottenham are the current favourites to sign Eze if the midfielder leaves Palace this summer.

The Lilywhites can offer European football next season, something Palace cannot guarantee.
It has been widely reported that Eze has a £68million release clause at Palace.
And Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that this summer is the perfect time for Spurs to go out and sign Eze.
“Eze would be my number one target this summer,” Wenham said.
“He’s got a lot of character, and he has that FA Cup win under his belt now.
“Eze has always been heavily linked with Tottenham. Therefore, I think this summer might be the right time to push on and sign him, as we can offer him UEFA Champions League football.
“I think he is a Tottenham player. He was fantastic for Crystal Palace last season. If Tottenham could sign anyone this summer, I’d want it to be Eze.”
Tottenham should sign Bryan Mbeumo and Eze this summer
The Lilywhites should accelerate the transfers of Bryan Mbeumo and Eze if they want to compete on all fronts next season.
Tottenham are in a good position to hijack Manchester United’s move for Mbeumo now that Thomas Frank has succeeded Ange Postecoglou.
The addition of Eze and Mbeumo offers the perfect blend of technical ability and physical technique. These two signings, paired with Son Heung-min and Dominic Solanke, could make Tottenham a force to be reckoned with next season.
