Tottenham Hotspur’s vision of bringing a wide midfielder with creativity into Ange Postecoglou’s squad could hit a crossroads with six weeks of the transfer market left – with Ben Jacobs exclusively telling GIVEMESPORT that a deal to bring the Crystal Palace winger to north London could be complicated and that could see a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto.
Eze has just enjoyed the best season of his career so far and that has seen links form – despite interest from Manchester City last summer. With Palace having sold Michael Olise they may be reluctant to do a deal, but with his release clause being revealed, Tottenham know exactly what they need to do to land their man.
Eberechi Eze Has Been on Tottenham’s Radar
The Palace winger’s form has given him plenty of suitors
Eze had been linked with Tottenham earlier in the transfer window, with Postecoglou’s men wanting to bring in a winger who can create chances for their strike force of Richarlison and Son Heung-min to capitalise upon.
Not only Eze, but Neto has also been touted with a move, whilst Rennes youngster Desire Doue has also supposedly been on their coattails – however, with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also supposedly in the market for his services, that could be a tough deal to pull off and at present, they have not yet decided upon a target to press forward with completing a deal for.
Jacobs: Eze Deal ‘Could be Complicated’
Olise’s move took weeks to negotiate and Eze could be similar
Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Jacobs states that whilst Tottenham are interested in the Palace winger, they could find any deal complicated and instead could turn their attentions to Wolves’ Neto. He said:
deal “Spurs have Eberechi Eze on their list of options, but any deal is complicated. Eze has a £60m release clause which, like Michael Olise’s one was, is not routine to trigger.
“Percentages of it go to Crystal Palace, QPR (Eze’s former club) and the player himself. I’m told Eze ideally wants to stay in London, which is good news for Spurs, and even Arsenal should they enter the race.”
