Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly closing in on a high-profile signing with Eberechi Eze moving closer to a transfer from Crystal Palace in a deal reported to be worth around \u00a368 million. Sources cited by Give Me Sport say that “an agreement is nearly done in principle” as Spurs push to finalise terms.<\/p>\n
Despite those developments, Oliver Glasner has insisted the midfielder will be involved for Palace in their upcoming Conference League fixture against Fredrikstad. Eze began Palace\u2019s Premier League campaign in the goalless draw with Chelsea and is understood to have already agreed personal terms with Spurs.<\/p>\n
The attacker has privately expressed a desire to move across London and play Champions League football. Having lifted the FA Cup last season, he feels ready to take on a fresh challenge at the highest level. The prospect of cementing his place in Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England squad for the 2026 World Cup is also said to be a major motivation.<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s pursuit comes after Heung-min Son left for Los Angeles FC in a deal reported to be worth more than \u00a320 million. Son\u2019s departure has created a creative void in the side and Eze, predominantly a No.10 who can also operate wide, is targeted to bring that attacking spark. Jamie Carragher labelled him a “superstar” on Sky Sports, and Spurs see his technical quality as an immediate asset for domestic and European campaigns.<\/p>\n
Daniel Levy is not expected to encounter major obstacles in finalising the transfer, according to Give Me Sport. Eze\u2019s current contract at Selhurst Park is said to be worth \u00a3100,000 per week, and Palace had resisted offers below his release clause. With that clause now expired, Palace are preparing for possible departure and are exploring replacements, with Leicester City\u2019s Bilal El Khannouss and Christos Tzolis mentioned as options.<\/p>\n
Should the move be completed, the 27-year-old could be unveiled in time for Spurs\u2019 weekend clash with Manchester City. For Thomas Frank and the club hierarchy, this would represent a significant statement of intent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
