Tottenham Hotspur have now opened direct talks to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace this summer.
The 27-year-old has been linked with the move away from the London club, and he has been on the radar of clubs like Arsenal as well. It seems that Tottenham are currently the frontrunner to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they can wrap up the move quickly.
Tottenham in talks with Palace over Eze transfer
Fabrizio Romano has revealed on GMS that the player is keen on joining Tottenham and the two clubs are currently locked in direct talks. It remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement over the fee.
Romano said: “Eze is keen on a Spurs move, for sure. The deal depends on the two clubs now, who remain in direct talks.”
The player had a £68 million release clause in his contract, but the window to trigger the clause has expired. Tottenham will be hoping to negotiate a reasonable deal with Crystal Palace now.
Eberechi Eze needs a big move
The 27-year-old has clearly outgrown the Eagles, and he needs to join a bigger club. He will be hoping to fight for major trophies and compete in Europe regularly. Spurs will be able to provide him with Champions League football for the upcoming campaign. It remains to be seen whether he can fight for trophies with them.
There is no doubt that they have a better team compared to Crystal Palace, and they have the resources to sign quality players as well. They have brought in a quality manager like Thomas Frank. Tottenham will look to establish themselves as Champions League regulars now and fight for trophies consistently.
Someone like Eze could make a big difference for them. He registered 25 goal contributions last season, and he will help them improve going forward. He will add some much-needed cutting edge and unpredictability to the Tottenham attack.
