Tottenham show interest in Premier League star with a £60 million release clause | OneFootball

The transfer market never rests, and neither do Tottenham’s transfer rumours.

With tomorrow’s match against Ipswich fast approaching, Spurs can take a moment to consider potential signings for the future.

Recently, we reported on some transfers already taking shape ahead of the summer window, including the case of Angel Gomes, with reports suggesting Tottenham have already prepared an offer for the Frenchman.

Another rumour from a few weeks ago claimed that Tottenham had joined the race to sign Richard Rios, a Colombian midfielder currently playing for Palmeiras.

Now, the focus has shifted to Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze.

According to TBR Football, Tottenham are leading the race to sign Eberechi Eze.

Although Spurs aren’t the only club interested in Eze’s services, the same report states that several other Premier League sides are also keen.

For now, Crystal Palace are preparing for the possibility of losing the player. However, Eze has a £60 million release clause, and the club do not expect any potential transfer to match that price.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, former Spurs scout Bryan King suggested that Eze would welcome a move to Tottenham.

"Eze is a player with good quality. However, he seems to be a very similar player to James Maddison," King explained. "I do think Eze would be interested in a move to Tottenham because Crystal Palace are a mid-table Premier League club.

"Whether he is better than Maddison I’m not sure, but he is certainly in that bracket. I’m not surprised that Spurs are interested in him because he is a Tottenham-type player."

A forward who could bring plenty to the team

Given Spurs’ long list of recent injuries, manager Ange Postecoglou may look to reinforce the squad with new signings.

While it may not be an immediate necessity, the idea and possibility remain on the table.

At Crystal Palace, the forward has been regarded as a key player, and bringing him to Spurs could add much-needed dribbling ability—something Tottenham could use to break down compact defensive setups.
