The news Spurs fans had been waiting for, for some months, has finally landed, and the excellent signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United has been complemented by a player fit to replace Heung-Min Son.
The Sun says that a deal has finally been struck, in which Tottenham will give Crystal Palace an initial £30 million for Eberechi Eze, and then pay the rest in yet-to-be-detailed instalments.
Pressure will have been placed upon the North London side due to a continued run of unwelcome injuries, which have blighted some of the club’s most creative players. James Maddison is likely to miss out on, if not all of this season, after it emerged he’s picked up an ACL injury. Dejam Kulusevki is still out due to having suffered a serious knee injury in May, which required surgery to his patella.
Crystal Palace will have spent the last few days urgently rustling up some class of replacement.
One fly in the ointment is Sky Sports. According to the struggling and woke sports news outlet, Tottenham have not agreed a deal with Crystal Palace to sign Eze. As a result, Sky Sports still has ‘talks are still ongoing between the two parties‘ as their headline.
Perhaps the Eagles’ replacement has not yet been agreed…
Maybe Sky need to rethink the way they pitch their coverage, eh
