Spurs Web

Fabrizio Romano has revealed how much Tottenham Hotspur are willing to pay for Eberechi Eze as the North London club make fresh contact with Crystal Palace today.

It has been reported that the next 48 hours are going to be crucial in Tottenham’s pursuit of Eze, with the Lilywhites expected to step up talks.

The 27-year-old did feature for Palace in their 0-0 draw against Chelsea on Sunday, and following the final whistle, Eze appeared to be emotional as he applauded the Palace fans in the away end.

Many interpreted that as a sign that the attacking midfielder has played his final game for the Eagles, with sources indicating that Tottenham are confident of getting a deal for Eze over the line.

Daniel Levy is currently in talks with Steve Parish

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Levy has made fresh contact with Palace chairman Steve Parish today over a deal for the England international.

The journalist reveals that Tottenham Hotspur are willing to offer a guaranteed fee of £55m plus £5m in add-ons for Eberechi Eze.

Romano reiterates that the attacking midfielder has already informed the Selhurst Park hierarchy of his desire to move to N17.

All signs are positive for Tottenham in Eberechi Eze pursuit

It has been revealed that Eze has informed his England teammates that he expects to be a Tottenham player soon.

Additionally, over the last 24 hours, Palace have already started making moves for potential Eze replacements, which suggests that they expect to agree a deal with the North London side.

Tottenham Hotspur are determined to complete a deal to sign Eberechi Eze, but Crystal Palace have made their stance clear.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters are following the Eberechi Eze transfer story with fear and dread. Every time a positive news story emerges which seems to suggest Eze is set for a move north of the River Thames, another one drops which indicates the exact opposite.

There have been a few reasons recently to believe Eze could finally be close to joining Spurs. After Crystal Palace’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea, Eze shared an emotional moment with the supporters, which could have been his way of bidding them farewell.

Eze has already told his teammates he expects his move to Tottenham to be completed. Better still, Crystal Palace are said to have identified a replacement for Eze, making a deal more likely before the transfer window slams shut.

Crystal Palace are playing hardball with Tottenham over Eberechi Eze

Despite the many factors pointing toward a summer move for Eze, an update from The Mirror has revealed Tottenham may have to wait until the weekend to seal a £60m move for the 27-year-old.

This is because the club’s chairman wants to keep Eze and defender Marc Guehi until after their Conference League campaign has begun.

Also, Crystal Palace are playing hardball over Eze, as well as Guehi, who has been linked with Liverpool. Spurs have been pushing hard to sign Eze, but Palace have made it clear they will remain in charge and dictate over both Eze and Guehi before the end of the window.

Their chairman, Steve Parish, has developed a reputation for being a tough negotiator in a similar way to Tottenham’s Daniel Levy. Therefore, any deal for Eze or Guehi will have to be completed on Palace’s terms.

Still, Spurs remain intent on bringing Eze to the club. They have always rated him as a player, but are more determined than ever to sign him after James Maddison tore his ACL.

Should Spurs have paid Eze’s release clause while it was still active?

If Spurs miss out on Eze, many questions will be asked of the board. Specifically, why was the decision not made to pay his £68m release clause while it was still an option?

However, plenty has changed since then. Tottenham were expected to sign Morgan Gibbs-White, and they were never likely to sign both players. Other factors might have played a part, such as not knowing the full extent of Maddison’s injury, or that Heung-min Son would leave the club.

Tottenham supporters will hope this is a conversation which does not need to take place. Palace may be stubborn, but with Eze favouring a move, that could be enough to sway them and allow him to start a new chapter in his career.

Eberechi Eze has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur over the summer, but there remain a few factors preventing the transfer from taking place.

The most bizarre transfer saga of the summer came when Tottenham Hotspur looked to have completed the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White. However, the move fell through at the last minute, leaving Spurs to consider other options.

One of these options is Eberechi Eze and his links with the club have been far from straightforward. In fact, many sources have reported that Arsenal are the frontrunners to sign Eze.

However, Eze has told his Crystal Palace teammates about his potential Tottenham move and he has now reached an agreement with the club. As well as this, progress appears to have been made, as Spurs will accelerate their talks for Eze.

Tottenham signing Eberechi Eze depends on Crystal Palace replacement

Despite the positive updates, an agreement to bring Eze to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is far from done. Crystal Palace have a UEFA Conference League qualifier on Thursday and according to The Sun, a deal is not expected to take place before then.

This comes as Tottenham have made an opening bid for Eze, which is believed to be in the region of £60m, just £8m below his now-expired release clause.

Another factor affecting whether Eze will be allowed to leave Crystal Palace is whether they can land a suitable replacement at this stage in the transfer window. It has been claimed Crystal Palace have already identified their Eze replacement in Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss, but a deal is yet to be struck.

Fortunately for Tottenham, reports suggest that Crystal Palace are in advanced talks with the Foxes over a deal for El Khannouss, which could in turn speed up the Eze deal (SkySports).

Spurs could have one of the best attacks in the Premier League this season

It would be a massive success if Spurs are able to secure Eze. The FA Cup match winner has bags of quality and he is a sound replacement for James Maddison, who is out with a long-term injury.

Eze could also be joined by another talented attacker, as Tottenham are expected to make a third bid for Manchester City winger Savinho. The Brazilian primarily plays on the right, but he would likely be signed as a direct replacement for Heung-min Son and take up the left wing position.

If Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison can keep their form up throughout the season, Spurs could be a serious contender for most goals scored in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur have handed Thomas Frank a major boost by convincing one of his key leaders to sign a new contract in North London, and fans will be overjoyed.

Thomas Frank has already made major changes to his Tottenham squad since taking over the N17 hotseat, most notably his choice of captain.

With Heung-min Son departing the club after 10 years of service, and past leaders like Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris having also moved on in recent windows, Spurs had a captaincy void to fill this summer.

It was announced before Tottenham’s UEFA Super Cup match against PSG that Cristian Romero would become the new Spurs captain, with the World Cup and Copa America winner being the obvious choice.

Now, it seems Thomas Frank has yet more good news to deliver on the Argentine centre-back.

Cristian Romero signs new contract with Tottenham Hotspur

It has been reported in recent days that Tottenham are determined to tie Romero down to a new long-term contract, with the club captain only having two years left on his deal.

However, claims were made earlier in the summer that Romero had rejected offers from Spurs to become the best-paid player at the club because he wanted to secure a transfer away.

Now it seems the Argentine has made a U-turn on his future, with reliable Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe reporting that Romero has signed a new contract with the club.

This information has also been reinforced by Sky Sports’ Luca Bendoni, who added that Romero’s new contract will run until June 2029.

Romero’s new deal is just as important as a new Spurs signing

Ledley King has already argued that keeping Romero was one of Tottenham’s most important jobs this summer, with the World Cup winner being linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.

Former Spurs centre-back, Steven Caulker, also argued that keeping Romero could define Tottenham’s season. However, it seems that Daniel Levy and co have gone one better than merely keeping the new club captain – they have extended his deal as well.

It seems like the offer of improved wages and the responsibility of leading Tottenham into a brand-new era as captain have convinced Romero to commit the peak years of his career to the Lilywhites.

Lucas Bergvall has issued a rallying cry ahead of Tottenham’s daunting Premier League clash with Manchester City, as the teenager reflected on Spurs’ flying start under new boss Thomas Frank.

Tottenham Hotspur got off to the perfect start on Saturday in the Premier League following their emphatic 3-0 thrashing of newly promoted Burnley.

It was the ideal outing for new boss Thomas Frank, who not only watched his team attack with real swagger but also ensured his side secured a clean sheet.

Tottenham are currently sitting inside the top three of the table following their recent victory, with only Manchester City outperforming them after cruising past Wolves with a 4-0 win in their opener.

Lucas Bergvall on Tottenham facing Manchester City

All eyes are now fixed on Tottenham’s next Premier League fixture, with a trip to face the Citizens looming large for the Lilywhites.

Lucas Bergvall, who was one of the standout performers for Tottenham in their 3-0 victory over Burnley, has spoken about Spurs’ upcoming challenge against Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Swedish youngster stressed the importance of taking things one step at a time while maintaining ambitions of competing at the very top.

Speaking to Yahoo Sport, Bergvall said: “We take every game at a time, we want Champions League of course, we want to win everything but every week is a new game so we take it one at a time.”

The 19-year-old midfielder also pointed back to last season’s stunning result at the Etihad as proof of what Tottenham are capable of producing when at their best.

“We know what we can do. We are a really, really good squad and last year we won 4-0 away at Man City. It is still a really tough game and we need to be ready.”

Bergvall on competition and Richarlison’s form

When asked about his preferred position, Bergvall made it clear that he is willing to adapt to the needs of the team, while also highlighting the challenges of breaking down Burnley’s defensive system.

“I do not know, it is up to the gaffer. I can play both. Whatever he wants. It was difficult to find space against a back five, but I feel like sometimes when I come a bit deeper and drive with the ball up the pitch, it is good.”

The arrival of Bayern Munich loanee Joao Palhinha has added even more depth to Tottenham’s midfield, but Bergvall believes it will only help him improve as he looks to develop under experienced players.

“Of course I can learn, he has played at the top level for many years in Bayern and Fulham, it is really good to get another midfielder with experience,” he said.

Attention also turned to Richarlison, whose brace, including a sensational scissor kick, sealed Spurs’ opening win at Turf Moor.

Bergvall did not hold back in his admiration for the Brazilian forward. “That was unbelievable. Richy has been really good in pre-season and against PSG as well, even though he did not score, he was really strong and today he got two goals.”

Djed Spence has shared the feelings of the Tottenham squad ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League.

Although Tottenham’s campaign began with heartbreak against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup, which they lost on penalties, the Lilywhites showed that they can go toe-to-toe against the best sides in Europe.

That bodes well for the club ahead of the Champions League campaign, where Spurs will come up against some of the biggest clubs in Europe in the league phase.

Thomas Frank has set Tottenham’s first objective as qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League, and it appears that there is excitement and belief in the squad ahead of their European adventure.

Spurs players want to prove themselves on the biggest stage

Tottenham are returning to the Champions League following a two-year absence from the competition, but this will be the first taste of the tournament for many in the Spurs squad.

One of those is Spence, who revealed that he and his teammates are hungry to show what they can do on the biggest stage.

When asked about the Champions League, the full-back told Football.London: “It’s a great competition, it’s the big stage, everyone wants to show what they can do on the biggest stage. So yeah, looking forward to it.”

There is no doubt that Spurs need a big squad to cope with the rigours of the Champions League and the Premier League.

According to reports, Tottenham are currently working on deals for Eberechi Eze and Savinho, and Spence admits that new additions will certainly help the club in their quest to challenge.

When asked about rumoured incomings, he responded: “Yeah, I mean, I’m not sure who has been linked or who is going to come in, but I think whoever comes in will definitely add strength to the squad and will be a good thing for us.”

Djed Spence has shed light on what Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to do in each game this season, and his answer suggests that a lot has changed since last season.

While it is still early days in the Thomas Frank era at Spurs, it is already clear that the Dane has instituted a major tactical shift.

Frank himself has admitted that he wants Tottenham to be more balanced than they were last season, stressing that the side needs to be good in all phases of play.

The Spurs head coach has said that he will adapt his style at N17, but made it clear that his main footballing principles, which we saw implemented at Brentford, will not change.

Djed Spence said Tottenham will prioritise defensive solidity

Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Burnley on Saturday was their first clean sheet in the Premier League since their 1-0 win over Man United back in February.

Djed Spence has now confessed that keeping a clean sheet will be the Lilwhites’ main aim going into games this season, insisting that the approach can deliver titles to the club.

When asked about how the tactical approach has changed under Frank, the full-back said (via Football.London): “I don’t want to go into too much detail, but I think the main thing is to be solid at the back, and our target is to keep as many clean sheets as possible. You do that and you win trophies, you win titles.”

The Tottenham defender gave this interview following the club’s loss on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup – a game where the 25-year-old managed to win duels time and again against the best players in the world.

When asked if he could take confidence from his performance against PSG, Spence responded: “Yeah, they’re all good players, but I wouldn’t say it gives me any confidence because I am already confident.”

Reports over recent days have claimed that Spence is on the verge of signing a four-year contract at Spurs, but the defender refused to divulge any information on that.

When asked if he has agreed a new deal, the former Middlesbrough man said: “No, no update on that unfortunately.”

Tottenham Hotspur are now just two weeks away from the draw for the league phase of the 2025/26 Champions League. We bring you all the information about the teams that have qualified and the dates of the ties.

Spurs are back in Europe’s premier club competition this campaign following a two-year absence, courtesy of winning the Europa League.

Thomas Frank has said Tottenham’s first objective is to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League in what will be his first taste of the competition.

Similar to how Tottenham’s Europa League campaign worked last season, the Lilywhites will be paired against two teams from each of the four pots in the league phase draw, which will take place on Thursday, 25 August.

Richarlison has spoken about his experience working under Thomas Frank so far and admitted that this summer at Tottenham has been very different.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker could not have hoped to have made a better start to the season, scoring a brilliant brace in Spurs’ 3-0 win over Burnley.

With a World Cup coming up at the end of this season, the former Everton man will be keen to establish himself as a starter at N17 and catch the eye of Selecao boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Richarlison reveals what has been different about pre-season at Tottenham

The striker has been ravaged by injuries since his big-money switch to Tottenham three years ago, which has prevented him from getting a run in the side and building momentum.

Richarlison admitted that this has been the first time in many years that he has actually had a full pre-season and has revealed that he feels stronger physically for it.

Speaking about pre-season at Tottenham, he told Globo Esporte: “Pre-season is always tough and tiring, but it’s very important, especially for us with a new manager and new players arriving and leaving.

“It’s a time to improve physically and start to understand each other on the pitch in the way the coaching staff want us to play. It’s been years since I had a full pre-season, and I feel really good physically, ready for the start.”

Richarlison wants to repay Thomas Frank’s faith

The Tottenham striker gave this interview ahead of Tottenham’s clash against Burnley, and admitted that he has enjoyed working with Thomas Frank.

The striker expressed his keenness to repay the faith that the Dane has shown in him, and it is fair to say he certainly did that on Saturday.

When asked about the new Tottenham boss, Richarlison said: “Working with Thomas Frank has been great so far. He’s given all of us a lot of confidence and has been really good in our conversations. I hope to repay that on the pitch.”

Tottenham fans will love what new club captain Cristian Romero has said after the Lilywhites emerged 3-0 winners over Burnley in their first Premier League game of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur ticked many boxes in Thomas Frank’s first league game in charge, keeping a clean sheet and creating several chances going forward.

While Spurs may not have played the highest standard of opposition, the Lilywhites did slip up often in must-win home games last season.

The Tottenham players and the coaching staff will be delighted with the overall display, especially given that they had just three days to prepare following their exertions in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain.

Cristian Romero delighted with Tottenham’s beautiful start to the season

After the Super Cup defeat on penalties, Romero admitted that the Spurs players were hurting badly, but insisted that the experience would make the team stronger.

The Tottenham captain is delighted with how the side responded to their heartbreak on Wednesday night, describing their display against Burnley as ‘beautiful’, and insisting that the club are on the right path.

Romero wrote on social media after the 3-0 win: “How beautiful to start in this beautiful way. Great game by all. This is very long, but this is the right way. All together always @spursofficial.”
