It is not exactly a secret, but Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are tracking a highly-rated Premier League winger this summer, but he insists it will not be a simple deal to conclude.
Spurs want Eze, but Palace don’t want to lose him
After weeks of speculation, Spurs do not appear to be any closer to signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace yet, but Romano’s latest comments to GiveMeSport suggest there is real intent from the Lilywhites to make a deal happen.
Romano said: “For Eze, for sure, he’s one of the players they have on the list. For sure, they appreciate the player, but the real issue is about the release clause, with the main part of the clause being paid in one solution immediately to Crystal Palace.
“That’s why it’s not kind of an easy deal on the club side. We know the clauses at Palace are always kind of complicated. We also saw that with Michael Olise in the last year. But Eze, for sure, is a player on Tottenham’s list. Let’s see if they will be able to make it happen.”
It is thought Eze’s release clause stands at £60m plus a further £8m in add-ons.
Spurs are not alone in pursuit of Eze
According to journalist, Ben Jacobs, in an appearance on The Last Word on Spurs, the Lilywhites are plotting a move for Eze once he is back from Euro 2024.
And, despite interest from Arsenal and Manchester City, it is Spurs who are the most determined to make a transfer happen.
Spurs Web Opinion
I would really like us to sign Eberechi Eze, but the fee does seem like it will be too high for us to pay, especially in one lump sum. I’d love to be proven wrong, but I think we will try and find a cheaper option.
