Ange’s side are preparing to bid for this coveted Premier League star.
The transfer window is now officially open and Tottenham Hotspur will put their new-look recruitment set-up to the test. Last summer’s conducted business proved to be a comparative success but now Ange Postecoglou will know the importance of getting it right and closing down those in the top four.
Despite the up-and-down nature of Postecoglou’s first campaign in England, a promising squad hampered by incessant injuries and nosedives in form, it may well be that Lilywhites look back at the year in favourable goggles, with the new philosophy taking root and exciting signings made.
But now, expectations will be heightened heading into the forthcoming term. European football is back and Spurs will be hopeful of wading deep into the Europa League, but qualifying for the Champions League is paramount.
There will be plenty of competition for the top four places in the Premier League but Tottenham have plenty of quality and with one or two impactful additions, Postecoglou will stand a good chance indeed.
Spurs lining up Premier League star
Tottenham continue to push for a new centre-midfielder – Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher and Everton star Amadou Onana are on the radar – but reinforcements are needed across multiple positions, with a left-tilting advanced midfielder eyed.
And now, according to Football Insider, Tottenham are ready to meet Eberechi Eze‘s £60m release clause as Postecoglou looks to strengthen his side with genuine quality.
Manchester United are also eager to sign the Crystal Palace sensation so Spurs will need to act swiftly and present the England international with a deal that he simply can’t refuse.
Eberechi Eze’s 2023/24 season in numbers
Eze has been a core member of the Crystal Palace team since signing from Queens Park Rangers in a deal worth £19.5m in August 2020, making 124 appearances and notching 43 goal contributions.
Last season, the Eagles only took flight when Oliver Glasner replaced the wizened Roy Hodgson in February, but Eze has been a steady source of attacking fuel for his side throughout, scoring 11 goals and adding four assists during an injury-hit Premier League campaign that limited him to just 24 starts.
Alternating between the left flank and a forward-driving No. 10 role, Eze would bring a new layer of dynamism to a Spurs side seeking depth.
