Spurs supporters will be thrilled by Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe’s latest revelation about the club’s move for Eberechi Eze.

While much of the recent focus has been on Tottenham’s pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho, the club are also targeting a new number 10 following James Maddison’s ACL injury. Reports in recent days have suggested Spurs could rival Arsenal for Eze’s signature — and that chase now seems to be gathering pace.

According to O’Keefe, who is known for accurate updates on Spurs, the Lilywhites have officially opened talks with Crystal Palace over signing the England international. He confirmed on social media that contact has been made and discussions are ongoing.

This follows a recent GiveMeSport report claiming Palace have invited Tottenham to submit bids for the 27-year-old, hoping to spark a bidding battle with Arsenal. The same report also noted that Thomas Frank has already approved Eze’s signing, although Spurs are still weighing up their options.
