Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze has gathered momentum, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the England international is “keen” on a switch to N17.
Romano confirmed on Monday that Spurs’ interest in Eze is separate from their bid to sign Manchester City winger Savinho. The North London club, hit by Heung-min Son’s departure and James Maddison’s injury, are aiming to bring in both players before the transfer deadline.
Talks with Palace are ongoing, but a deal hinges on Tottenham meeting the Eagles’ valuation for the 27-year-old.
Until recently, Arsenal were considered favourites to sign Eze. However, TEAMtalk reports that the Gunners are hesitating over a big-money move for a number ten, leaving Spurs with a clear opportunity.
Club insider Paul O’Keefe has also confirmed that negotiations have progressed in recent days, with Tottenham now fully aware of Palace’s asking price.
