Spurs Web

A new update has emerged on whether Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Eberechi Eze, and it contradicts a different report.

Eberechi Eze to Tottenham Hotspur, where do we begin? With each passing day, Spurs supporters wait in anticipation for the 27-year-old to be announced as the club’s latest signing.

However, nobody seems too sure about what is actually going on. Different news outlets are reporting stories which fail to match up and at this current moment in time, Eze remains a Crystal Palace player.

Recently, Fabrizio Romano said Tottenham have an 85 per cent chance of signing Eze. An even more promising story was broken by Sacha Tavolieri, as he claimed Eze’s move to Tottenham was imminent.

Best of all, Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe said Tottenham had reached a verbal agreement with Crystal Palace for Eze.

Sky Sports refute claims Tottenham have sealed Eberechi Eze agreement

After a number of stories all pointing toward Eze joining Spurs, Sky Sports have revealed some frustrating news on the Eze front.

According to the sports news outlet, Tottenham have made no agreement with Crystal Palace to sign Eze. As a result, talks are still ongoing between the two parties.

It was previously reported that Crystal Palace are playing hardball with Tottenham over Eze, while Oliver Glasner said he expected Eze to start for Crystal Palace on Thursday. Therefore, it could be that Spurs do eventually agree a deal, but it will not be completed immediately.

Eze wants to join Spurs this summer

Eze has told some of his England teammates he wants to join Tottenham. He is eager to make the step up to Champions League football, which, in theory, could accelerate the move.

However, if anything was learned from the Morgan Gibbs-White saga, it is that things can very quickly change. Eze has just won the FA Cup and Community Shield and it is not unimaginable that he could somehow be persuaded to remain in South London.

To prevent any dramatic twists, Tottenham must finalise their negotiations and get Eze confirmed at the earliest possible date. Finding an alternative at this point in the transfer window would be a big inconvenience, so agreeing terms with Palace is a must.

Amidst suggestions that Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze, a new report has revealed that the Lilywhites will only be paying around a fraction of the fee upfront.

Over the past few days, a number of sources have said that Eze is overwhelmingly likely to end up as a Tottenham player.

Earlier today, it was reported by Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe that Spurs have reached a verbal agreement with Palace over Eze’s transfer.

If he arrives through the door, the England international will be Tottenham’s fifth signing of the summer, and it looks like the Lilywhites have managed to get very advantageous terms for the 27-year-old.

Tottenham will pay half of the Eberechi Eze fee upfront

O Keefe’s claim has now been backed up by The Sun, who say that Spurs and Palace have agreed a deal worth just over £60m for the former QPR man’s transfer.

The report claims that the North London club made a ‘major breakthrough’ earlier today during their discussions with the Eagles over the player.

Interestingly, the outlet reveals that Tottenham Hotspur will pay £30m upfront for Eze, with the rest of the transfer fee set to be paid in instalments.

The initial payment is intended to help Oliver Glasner’s men secure a replacement for the Tottenham-bound midfielder.

Why an announcement on Eze may not be imminent

The Sun back up what other sources have reported over recent weeks, stating that Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss has been identified as a potential replacement for Eze by the South London club.

It was claimed on Monday by The Mirror that Palace first want to secure a replacement for Eze before greenlighting his move.

We might thus have to wait for Oliver Glasner’s men to secure El Khannouss or another attacking midfielder before Eze is announced as a Tottenham player.

Tottenham Hotspur could be on the verge of another summer transfer deal after a breakthrough in negotations.

Spurs fans have become all too wary about potential incomings after the Morgan Gibbs-White deal fell through at the latter stages, which ended in the England midfielder signing a new contract with Nottingham Forest.

Thomas Frank has been on the lookout for a new creative addition to his midfield after James Maddison suffered an ACL injury during the pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in South Korea which will see him sidelined until next year.

Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has been heavily linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in recent days with conflicting reports circulating over just how close a move could be.

Tottenham close in on Eberechi Eze transfer

Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe has taken to social media platform X on Tuesday afternoon to reveal a significant update on talks between the two clubs.

O’Keefe has shared his understanding that Tottenham and Palace have now reached a verbal agreement over a deal to bring Eze to the Europa League champions.

Eyebrows were raised in North London when the 27-year-old was named in the Crystal Palace team for their opening Premier League fixture against Chelsea on Sunday, where the midfielder saw an impressive free-kick disallowed.

It now remains to be seen when Tottenham can get the deal formally over the line with Palace set to play their first-ever European fixture on Thursday, while Spurs face the tough trip to Manchester City on Saturday lunchtime.

Eze deal is a significant sign of ambition from Spurs

Tottenham have looked sharp in their opening matches against PSG and Burnley, but the addition of Eze adds another dynamic to the side as someone who is comfortable operating in the ten role.

With Ange Postecoglou having struggled with squad depth last season to juggle the Europa League and Premier League, it is great to see that Tottenham are finally understanding that purely a strong starting XI is not good enough if the club want to compete on multiple fronts.

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri has shed light on what Yves Bissouma thinks about staying at Tottenham Hotspur and where he wants to move to if he leaves the club before the end of the month.

The Mali international is in the final year of his contract at Spurs, and there is no indication that a new deal is in the offing for the midfielder.

In fact, it has been reported since the start of the summer that Tottenham are trying to find a buyer for Bissouma.

The 28-year-old has not made the best of impressions on Thomas Frank, with Bissouma being left out of the squad for the UEFA Super Cup clash for disciplinary reasons.

Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma wants to stay in the Premier League

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri has now revealed that the midfielder’s first option is to remain at Spurs for the upcoming season.

If Frank decided to push him out the door, the journalist says that Bissouma would prefer to remain in England, as he needs to reside in the country for one more year to obtain a British passport.

Tavolieri adds that West Ham United and Everton have both been keeping an eye on the Tottenham man’s situation.

Will Spurs be able to cash in on Bissouma?

On the back of his latest disciplinary lapse, Tottenham fans have called for the club to cash in on Bissouma, with many having run out of patience with the former Brighton man.

Given his track record in the Premier League, one would expect many top-flight clubs to show interest in the Malian.

Tottenham Hotspur want to strengthen in three areas before the transfer window slams shut in less than two weeks.

It has been widely reported over the past week that Tottenham are working on deals for Eberechi Eze and Savinho, with Thomas Frank’s men thought to be keen on signing both players.

According to various sources, as things stand, Spurs are much more confident about the Eze deal than the Savinho one.

Over recent days, there have also been suggestions that Thomas Frank wants to add a centre-back to his squad.

Paul O’Keefe sheds light on Tottenham’s transfer aims

It has already been reported by several sources that Tottenham’s pursuit of Eze and Savinho are separate deals, with the players fitting different requirements in Frank’s set-up.

Tottenham insider, Paul O’Keefe, has now predicted that Spurs could have a busy end to the transfer window.

O Keefe said on The Last Word on Spurs podcast that Tottenham will try to sign a winger, an attacking midfielder and a left-sided centre-back before the window slams shut.

Spurs have identified their top centre-back target

According to various sources, Tottenham have settled on Bayer Leverkusen star Piero Hincapie as their top centre-back target.

It may not be an easy deal to do, as Leverkusen issued a hands-off warning to Spurs on Hincapie earlier this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have received an offer from Turkey for a player who started the UEFA Super Cup clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

On Monday, Cristian Romero put pen to paper on a new four-year contract at Tottenham, with the news coming as a major boost to the North London side.

However, another senior player, who started against PSG and came on against Burnley, is yet to commit to a new deal despite being in the final year of his contract.

The player in question is Rodrigo Bentancur, who has been praised by Thomas Frank, but it has now been suggested that an exit might be on the cards for the Uruguayan.

Fenerbahce launch offer for Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur

It has now been reported by Sabah (as relayed by Sport Witness) that Fenerbahce have turned their attention to signing Bentancur from Tottenham in the final week and a half of the transfer window.

The Turkish giants have now reportedly made an offer of €15m (£13m) to Spurs for the 28-year-old, but that has not been enough to do the deal.

The outlet says that Tottenham Hotspur value Bentancur at €25m (£21.6m), with negotiations between Fenerbahce and the North London side currently ongoing.

MORE SPURS STORIES

That would certainly be surprising news, considering that Bentancur is a major part of Frank’s midfield plans. This report from Turkey can perhaps be taken with more than a pinch of salt.

Fenerbahce see Bentancur as a realistic target

Sabah say that the Super Lig club had originally set their sights on Aston Villa’s Youri Tielemans but have now turned their attention to Bentancur.

This is because they see the Spurs man as a ‘more realistic option’ after the Lilywhites secured Joao Palhinha’s services, which they believe could open the door to the former Juventus man’s sale.

However, given how heavily Bentancur has been involved in Frank’s plans so far, it would come as a major surprise to Spurs fans if the midfielder is sold.

Cristian Romero has expressed his joy at signing a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur, referring to the North London side as the ‘best club in the world’

Romero has attracted plenty of interest from sides in Spain this summer, and it was even claimed at the start of the summer that the Tottenham defender was keen on joining Atletico Madrid.

However, Spurs managed to see off advances from the La Liga side, and the defender’s commitment to the club became clear when Thomas Frank named him the new captain following the departure of Heung-min Son.

On Monday, in a huge development, it emerged that Romero had put pen to paper on a new four-year deal with Tottenham.

Cristian Romero sends message to Tottenham fans after signing contract

The new Tottenham captain has now admitted that he is very happy at N17 and expressed his pride at being given the captain’s armband.

Romero told the official Spurs channel: “I’m very happy here in the club. For me, this club is the best in the world. The last two weeks, first becoming captain and now signing the contract with the club. For me, it’s a fantastic decision.

“My message to the fans is thank you for your amazing support every day and every match. For me, and it’s important also for the team.”

On Saturday, in his first home game as captain, Romero took his son Valentino onto the pitch as his mascot, and he admitted that it was a special moment for him.

The centre-back said: “Going on to the pitch with my son [on Saturday], it’s special for me. First time as captain, and yeah, it is incredible for me. I love football, I love this club. It’s special for me to go to the pitch with him.”

Romero is targeting another trophy this season

The Argentine is no stranger to winning silverware, and played an important part in Tottenham’s Europa League win, being adjudged the Man of the Match in the final against Manchester United.

Now that Tottenham have got a taste of success, Cristian Romero insisted that they are hungry for more and have their eyes on winning a trophy again this campaign.

He added: “After winning the Europa League, it’s like a special season now. In football, sometimes there are good moments, bad moments. The most important thing for me is to stay all together. We want to win. Maybe, why not again this season? Another trophy with the club is important for everyone.”

Tottenham Hotspur look set to miss out on Savinho after Pep Guardiola made a firm decision on the Brazilian winger’s future.

While Spurs are expected to get a deal for Eberechi Eze over the line, frustratingly for Tottenham fans, the club’s pursuit of Savinho appears to be collapsing.

Until the weekend, it was being reported that Tottenham are continuing to push for Savinho despite having their opening offer turned down by Man City.

However, on Monday, journalist Guillem Balague claimed that Man City had decided against selling Savinho this summer.

This news has now been backed up by talkSPORT, who revealed that it is Pep Guardiola who has ‘closed the door’ on an exit for Savinho.

The report says that the player was keen on making a switch to Tottenham Hotspur after just one season at the Etihad Stadium.

Spurs were willing to pay a club-record fee for the 21-year-old, but Guardiola has decided that he does not want to lose Savinho this summer.

The Brazilian is thus expected to stay put in Manchester this season, with the Lilywhites now expected to move on to other wide targets.

Tottenham have a Ligue 1 alternative in their sights

It has been revealed by Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe that Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche ranks high on Spurs’ wishlist as a potential Savinho alternative.

Although a natural right-winger, Akliouche, who can also play as a number ten, scored eight goals and provided 12 assists last campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace still have some disagreements regarding the valuation of Eberechi Eze, according to a new update by Fabrizio Romano.

According to reports, a fresh round of talks between Daniel Levy and Steve Paris was held on Monday regarding Eze.

It has been claimed by several sources that a move to Tottenham is imminent for Eze, with the negotiations advancing.

However, it has now emerged that there is still a slight disagreement on the fee between the two London clubs as talks continue.

Crystal Palace want more than what Tottenham are offering for Eberechi Eze

Fabrizio Romano has now revealed on DAZN that the Lilywhites and the Eagles have still not reached an agreement on the transfer fee for the attacking midfielder.

Spurs have reportedly sent an offer of £55m + £5m in add-ons for Eze, but Palace want more.

However, Romano adds that negotiations are advancing and he gives the deal an 85 per cent chance of getting over the line.

One factor could be holding up Eze’s move to Spurs

Most reliable sources appear convinced that Eze will be a Tottenham player soon, but there may be one factor holding up the transfer.

It has been claimed by some outlets that Palace want to sign a replacement for Eze before finalising his sale.

Tottenham supporters will love what Cristian Romero said on social media after committing his future to the North London club.

Tottenham Hotspur have made some smart signings this summer and are reportedly after more top players, but arguably their best deal of the summer was not a transfer at all.

It came yesterday when the club announced that new captain, Cristian Romero, had penned a four-year deal with Tottenham.

According to Salary Leaks, the defender’s new contract is worth £200,000 per week, making him the highest earner in the Spurs squad.

Cristian Romero expresses his love for Tottenham Hotspur

The Argentine defender may be a busy and loud player on the pitch, but he is a man of few words off it.

However, he has now taken to social media to express his love for Tottenham, referring to the club as his family, and admitting that he loves the fans.

Romero posted a behind-the-scenes video of his contract signing, along with the caption: “I’m here to stay. Spurs is my family. I love the fans. I love this club.”

Is this a sign that Spurs will show serious ambition?

In the past, Romero has criticised the Spurs hierarchy for a lack of ambition, questioning why the Lilywhites do not invest as much into their squad as some of their rivals.

The fact that he has done a 180 on his future and signed a new deal suggests that he has been sufficiently convinced by Daniel Levy and the leadership that Tottenham intend to compete.

It is also clear that the Argentine has been won over by Thomas Frank and his coaching staff. If Frank can build around the likes of Romero, Van de Ven, Palhinha, and Kudus this season, Spurs could be in for a solid season.
