Tottenham Hotspur are moving closer to securing their summer target, as the upcoming transfer window nears.
Amongst many names is their top target Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze, with the London club eyeing a potential switch.
According to TEAMtalk, the north London side are reportedly close to finalizing a record-breaking deal for the England international currently in the Euros squad, potentially making Eze the most expensive signing in the clubs history.
Although he still has three years left on his Palace contract, which expires in June 2027, Tottenham seems willing to pay the £60 million release clause plus additional £8 million in potential add-ons, for a total of £68 million.
The previous club record, £52.7 million paid to Lyon for Tanguy Ndombele in 2019, would be surpassed by this agreement.
Eze’s impressive 2023/24 campaign
Despite suffering a muscular injury that kept him out of action for a month, Eze scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 27 Premier League games the previous season, demonstrating his talent.
He is now regarded as one of the most talented players in English football because of his accomplishments.
Ange Postecoglou is excited to bolster the team in order to challenge for the English Premier League title in the upcoming season.
Eze is a wonderful fit for Tottenham’s goals because of his inventiveness and flair, which are seen as ideal for his attacking plan.
Spurs supporters are excited for the possible arrival of Eze as the transfer window draws closer, hoping he may be the sparkplug for a good season the next year.
Spurs’ intention to compete at the highest level and mount a credible push for the Premier League title is shown by the prospective signing.
In addition to improving Tottenham’s midfield options, Eze’s arrival would infuse their attacking style with even more vitality and inventiveness.
The club’s determination to assemble a team capable of winning big in the forthcoming campaign is demonstrated by the record-breaking deal.
Eze could be ideal for Spurs
Given that Eze is Premier League proven and can play several positions in attack, his addition will count as a shrewd buy for Spurs and Postecoglu, especially when you consider the fact that the north London side would not need to ‘overspend’ to get their hands on the forward.
Also at 25, Eze still has a good number of years ahead of him to play at the top level. It would be interesting to see which club the Englishman would play for next season.
