Spurs are optimistic that they can overcome multiple Premier League competitors to secure the England international who will cost them the highest money they have ever paid for a deal.
Even though England may be struggling at Euro 2024, many of their best players will be in high demand this summer.
Manchester United is keeping an eye on Marc Guehi as they look to sign one, if not two, new center-backs.
Another Crystal Palace star, Ebenerechi Eze, has started a mad rush to make transfers.
A release clause estimated to be worth £60 million allows for the signing of the livewire attacker.
Eze bagged 15 goal contributions in 27 Premier League matches for Palace last term and counts Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd among his admirers.
But according to the Times, it’s Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham who front the queue and the north London club are prepared to ramp up their pursuit.
Major Tottenham push is imminent.
Spurs don’t care if it costs up to £60 million to bring Eze in. The five-cap England international would become Tottenham’s most expensive acquisition ever with a signing at that price.
When Richarlison was acquired from Everton two years ago, his contract included £10 million in add-ons in addition to the initial £50 million. Considering that Eze’s move would cost £60 million without add-ons, he would rank first.
Spurs were said to be “confident” about winning the competition for the Eagles talisman and said they will step up their efforts after England’s Euro 2024 campaign is over.
England face Slovakia in the Round of 16 stage on Sunday and despite their woeful form, will be heavy favourites to advance.
The winners of Italy vs Switzerland would await in the quarter-finals and if Gareth Southgate’s side don’t quickly improve, their dreams could be crushed at the hands of the Italians on July 6
Daniel Levy’s influence is really beneficial for the Eze move.
TEAMtalk has discovered that chairman Daniel Levy is one of the reasons Spurs are so sure they’ll be the ones to sign Eze.
The head of the Spurs has a great working relationship with the CAA Stellar agency, which represents Eze.
Additionally, reports claim that discussions between Eze’s camp and Spurs have already begun, and that several rounds of talks have taken place over the previous few weeks.
Last season, Eze mostly played as an attacking midfielder, which directly put him against James Maddison.
Postecoglou will no doubt already know how he intends to embed both players in his starting line-up, with the left wing a position Eze featured in at times last season.
Aside from Eze, the Times added Tottenham also intend to sign a ‘versatile defender and a forward.’
