Tottenham’s interest in Eberechi Eze rekindles, but they want a discount
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly at the front of the queue to land a very highly-rated Premier League midfielder, but the North London club are baulking at the player’s release clause and are hoping to sign him on a discount.
Eberechi Eze has oozed class from the moment he set foot at Crystal Palace four and a half years ago and the midfielder has already been capped nine times for England since making his senior debut in 2023.
The fact that the 26-year-old has not been poached by one of the bigger clubs in the Premier League would be a surprise to many, but that could potentially change in the summer.
A fresh report has now claimed that a number of top sides, including Spurs, are now plotting a move for the Eagles man when the transfer window reopens in June.
Tottenham want to sign Eberechi Eze at a discount £50m
This update comes from GiveMeSport, who say that a move to Spurs is now becoming a ‘concrete option’ for Eze this season as the Lilywhites plot a move for the player.
The report states that as things stand, Tottenham are ‘the most interested side’ in the former QPR man’s services, with Ange Postecoglou’s men keen on adding him to their squad.
Eze is thought to prefer staying in the capital if he leaves Selhurst Park, with the midfielder said to be open to joining Spurs at the end of the season.
However, the outlet states that the North London side have no intention of meeting his £68m release clause and are instead hoping to complete a deal for around £50m.
Palace’s stance on Eze as competition intensifies
GiveMeSport state that Man Utd and Napoli also have Eze on their shortlist, but those two clubs are also unwilling to meet the player’s release clause.
However, it is revealed that Palace have not given up hope of keeping the midfielder at the club beyond the end of the season.
Oliver Glasner’s men are having a strong second half of the campaign and they want to build on the foundation they have by keeping Eze, whose current deal runs until 2027.
