Tottenham are working hard to improve the squad for Thomas Frank after hiring the Dane as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou.
Reinforcements are very much welcome in N17 after a tough 2024/25 campaign, which remarkably saw Spurs finish 17th in the Premier League on just 38 points.
Tottenham have signed Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale in a shrewd £5m move to bolster the defence, but attacking additions are also wanted, with Spurs hoping to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
Now, the Selhurst Park faithful have reacted on X (previously known as Twitter) after hearing the England international is keen on a move to Tottenham.
Crystal Palace fans react after hearing Eberechi Eze is interested in Tottenham move
TBR Football understand Eze is keen on a move to Spurs, and a deal has been made possible this summer after Crystal Palace agreed to let his £68m release clause be paid in instalments.
If an agreement materialises, Crystal Palace supporters would be devastated judging by the reaction online.
One Crystal Palace fan wrote: “I really hope Eze doesn’t leave, (I) will be gutted.”
The man from Greenwich – who Crystal Palace paid £20m to sign from QPR in August 2020 – has been outstanding for the Eagles, scoring 40 goals and providing 28 assists in 167 appearances, including the strike that won the FA Cup last season.
Another supporter posted: “Eberechi Eze. Scored the opener in our FA Cup QF (quarter-final) win. Scored the opener in our FA Cup SF (semi-final) win. Scored the opener/winner in the FA Cup Final. You can’t replace that.”
It would be incredibly tough to replace such a fine footballer, but Crystal Palace lost Michael Olise last summer, and still managed to enjoy a successful 2024/25 campaign.
A third fan begged Tottenham, saying: “Just let us see one season of Eze in (the) Europa League at Selhurst. Take him next year for your ‘statement’ signing.”
The Crystal Palace No.10 will only have 12 months remaining on his contract if the Eagles wait until next summer to sell, which would not exactly encourage clubs to trigger his £68m release clause, and would most likely leave potential suitors waiting for a free transfer in 2027.
Others simply wrote posts such as “this cannot happen” and “noooo” on X as the conversation around Eze saw fuel added to the fire – evidently, he is a very popular man in SE25, who would be a great addition for Frank at Tottenham.
CAA Base can help Tottenham sign Eberechi Eze
The Crystal Palace star is represented by CAA Base – an agency Spurs are very closely associated with.
A box was even arranged for Eze in the 2023/24 campaign by Tottenham and CAA Base, and the 26-year-old is also believed to be close friends with the likes of James Maddison and Heung-min Son.
These factors, coupled with an affordable release clause, make this deal seem highly possible this summer.
