Tottenham are looking to make a number of signings this summer and Ebere Eze is one of the players being linked with a move.
The England international is currently away at the Euros but remains one of the most courted players in the Premier League.
Eze’s fine form for Palace, couple with an apparent £60m release-clause, means he is a player very much on Tottenham and others’ radar.
Indeed, it’s even been claimed Tottenham are pushing on with signing Eze and feel they have a big chance at signing him.
However, speaking on the situation, Tottenham journalist Alasdair Gold has offered up a slightly different take on proceedings.
What people are saying about Tottenham signing Ebere Eze
Answering questions for his latest Football.London Q&A, Gold has shared what he’s been told on the situation with Eze and Spurs.
“So many people I’ve spoken to in the game over this past week have been told that Palace are making it clear that Eze is not for sale amid Olise’s impending departure, which does throw the spotlight on that release clause,” Gold said.
“That clause is an interesting one because nobody seems to be able to pin down exactly what it consists of, other than a general acceptance that it’s a complicated one. Some have suggested it’s more to do with money up front while not setting a valuation, while others have said that there is a price tag but it’s complicated.
“For me, for Palace to be quite clear to people that Eze isn’t for sale suggests it’s somehow loaded in their favour whatever form it takes. There’s two months left of this window so lots of time left and transfers always take twists and turns, but at this point Palace seem pretty adamant.”
Eze a game-changer for Tottenham
Tottenham signed James Maddison last summer and the club immediately saw the benefit of his signing as he produced from the get go.
You get the impression the same will happen if Ebere Eze makes the move to Tottenham as well.
Such is his talent, Eze will instantly endear himself to the Tottenham fans who, over the years, have demanded entertaining and easy on the eye football.
Of all the players being linked with Spurs, Eze feels like one who would make the biggest difference.
