Tottenham Hotspur Are Big Admirers Of This Crystal Palace Playmaker: Should Frank Go For Him? | OneFootball

In a recent newsletter with Give Me Sport, respected journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are big admirers of Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze. Romano said,

“Tottenham love Eze, he’s on the list for sure. But no final decision has been made yet.”

Eze’s Impressive Numbers At Selhurst Park Last Season

The English talent enjoyed a decent run of form at the London club and managed to produce a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. Eze played in 43 matches for the Eagles last season, scoring 14 times and earning 11 assists in multiple competitions.

The 25-year-old was a decent performer in the opponent’s half based on his average 3.48 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. However, he only kept 27% of his attempts on target. Eze distributed the ball relatively well after completing 74.2% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via fbref.com).

Eze’s current deal at Crystal Palace will expire in the summer of 2027 which could make it tough for Spurs to recruit him on the cheap this off-season.

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Go For Eze?

Eze has got the pace to make some dangerous runs with the ball in the final third. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive end of the field.

The English sensation can contribute by scoring his fair share of goals up top. However, he needs to work on improving his passing accuracy in and around the opponent’s penalty area. Eze is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also fill in as a left-winger if asked to do so.

We can expect Eze to add more firepower to Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank’s frontline. He has what it takes to secure a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.

At 26, Eze has his best years ahead of him which makes him a good choice for Spurs to pursue this summer. He has already proven his worth in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club. All in all, Frank should focus on going all out to acquire Eze’s services ahead of the new campaign.
