Tottenham Hotspur is considering the possibility of acquiring Eberechi Eze this summer. The English attacking midfielder is on the watch list of some big clubs, such as Manchester United and Bayern Munich, according to The Mirror.
Palace’s star is reported to have a £68m buy-out clause in his contract, which expires in June 2027. Spurs’ new manager Thomas Frank feels like it’s fair value for a player like Eze. The North London side is in need of attacking additions, which saw their efforts to bring Bryan Mbuemo and Antoine Semenyo fall short.
Eze had a season to remember, scoring the only goal in the FA Cup final against Manchester City to help Crystal Palace win their first major title. He scored eight goals and eight assists in last year’s Premier League campaign.
2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners could finally see the departure of their captain, Son Heung-min, as interest from the Saudi Pro League accelerates. A permanent contract for Mathys Tel seems promising for the future of the club, but Frank would prefer an English Premier League-proven player.
European competition regularly.
The England International is in the best form of his career at the moment. Although his team will be playing in the Europa League next season, playing in major European competitions regularly is hard to turn down, considering his age.
While Tottenham is considering the possibility of acquiring Eberechi Eze, a move to a bigger club is surely being considered by the team and the player. Both parties may benefit from the right price. Last season, Crystal Palace facilitated a move for Michael Olise to Bayern Munich for £50m.
Palace’s chance of playing in the Europa League was in jeopardy, considering their American shareholder is also a shareholder of Lyon. That could no longer be the case as John Textor sold his 43 percent stake to Woody Johnson for £190m.
This is exciting news from the Palace perspective, as they will want their best players in the squad for a big stage in Europe. Will Eberechi Eze stay in his boyhood club for next season’s Europa League campaign? Maybe. However, this could be a time for greener pastures.
