Tottenham Hotspur are "pushing to sign" an "unbelievable finisher", and an offer has now been made, reliable reporter Ben Jacobs has revealed.
Tottenham keen on new attacker despite dominant opening day victory
Tottenham kicked off their 2025-25 Premier League campaign in perfect fashion, securing a 3-0 victory at home against newly-promoted Burnley, and new signing Mohammed Kudus certainly caught the eye with his performance.
The Ghanaian winger chipped in with two assists on his league debut for Spurs, with Richarlison bagging a brace and Brennan Johnson also getting on the scoresheet, underlining the quality Thomas Frank has at his disposal in attacking areas.
However, given that Son Heung-min has now departed for LAFC, and James Maddison is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to an ACL injury, it will be important for Frank to bolster his options in attack further ahead of the September 1st deadline.
It has been clear that Tottenham have wanted an attacking midfielder for quite some time, having missed out on Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White earlier this summer, but they now appear to be closing in on a deal to sign a different England international.
Indeed, according to an update from Jacobs on X, Tottenham have now made an offer in the region of £55m - £60m for Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, who could complete a move to north London as soon as next week.
The structure of the deal is still under discussion, but it is now looking increasingly likely Eze will move across the capital, given that Spurs are "pushing to sign" the Palace star, and he "wants to join".
Eze is expected to start for Palace against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, though.
"Unbelievable" Eze could be statement signing for Spurs
Tottenham will have been very frustrated to have missed out on Gibbs-White earlier this summer, but the Palace star would arguably be an even better signing, having outperformed his England teammate in terms of attacking contributions last season.
Oliver Glasner was also left impressed by his talisman's performances in the 2024-25 campaign, saying: "He’s always dangerous because he has the quality and ability at 1-1, he’s such an unbelievable finisher, in some situations he can improve, he’s a guy who can always score and he’s someone who everyone likes."
With Maddison set to miss the majority of the campaign due to injury, it is imperative that Tottenham bring in at least one more attacking midfielder this summer, and having already proven himself in the Premier League, Eze would be the ideal addition to Frank's squad.
