Eberechi Eze delivers a fresh verdict on Tottenham links after a dramatic saga at Crystal Palace.
TEAMtalk provide a major update on Tottenham’s chances of landing Eberechi Eze and the kind of competition the North London club could face for the attacker.
Eze expected to be on the move
The speculation over Eze’s future has intensified in light of Crystal Palace’s poor start to the new season.
Oliver Glasner’s men currently find themselves in the relegation zone, having picked up just three points from their first seven Premier League fixtures.
It was reported by Football Insider last week that the 26-year-old is ready to leave Selhurst Park in favour of a new challenge, with Tottenham and Liverpool named as the two leading contenders for his signature.
Spurs are now the favourites
Interestingly, TEAMtalk have now named Spurs as the leading contenders for Eze’s signature, with the outlet claiming that the Lilywhites are ‘very keen’ on the player and are ‘seriously considering’ a move for him in 2025.
They say that Spurs would have to offload players in order to be able to land the England international in January and they are now ‘looking at possibilities’ on how to make the deal happen.
It is asserted that a move to Tottenham at the end of this season is the ‘most likely outcome’ for Eze as things stand.
Man United could swoop
However, the outlet reveals that Man Utd want to scupper Tottenham’s plans and may push ahead with a move for the Palace star sooner rather than later.
Erik Ten Hag’s men are allegedly looking to add a top-class winger to their squad to replace Antony and have now set their sights on the former QPR man.
The publication adds that Eze’s £60m release clause will become active next summer but that fee would have to be paid upfront.
