According to Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe, there has been a big change in Crystal Palace’s stance on Eberechi Eze, which might significantly boost Spurs’ chance of landing the versatile attacker.
According to reports over recent days, Frank is prioritising strengthening Tottenham’s attack this summer, amidst the possibility that Heung-min Son might exit the club.
Over the last few months, several outlets have installed Spurs as one of the front-runners to sign Eze, who has a £68m release clause in his Crystal Palace contract.
It was reported by TBR Football last week that Thomas Frank had greenlighted Tottenham’s pursuit of Eze, with the Danish coach thought to be a big fan of the Palace star.
Tottenham receive a major boost in Eberechi Eze pursuit
There was previously one major complication in Spurs’ efforts to land the Eagles attacker, which pertained to his release clause.
Several sources had stated that Eze’s full £68m clause had to be paid upfront instead of in instalments, as transfers are usually structured.
However, Paul O’Keefe has now taken to social media to claim that Oliver Glasner’s men have changed their stance and are willing to accept the Eze fee in three £20m instalments.
