Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace throughout the summer transfer window, and it seems that a transfer is now close to completion.

According to Sky Sports France, the move is ‘imminent’ and the player is pushing the Crystal Palace management to sanction the move. The Eagles do not plan to delay his transfer any longer, and they are hoping to secure a replacement quickly. They have identified Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester City as a replacement.

Meanwhile, the 27-year-old has already agreed on personal terms with Tottenham, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can wrap up the move quickly. The attacker will want to compete at the highest level, and the move to Tottenham will be ideal for him. He will look to make his mark in the UEFA Champions League with them.

On the other hand, Tottenham lost Son Heung-min earlier this summer, and they need to replace their club legend. The England International could be the ideal acquisition. He is capable of operating in multiple attacking roles, and he will help out with goals and creativity.

Spurs move would be ideal for Eze

Eze is at the peak of his career right now, and this is the right time for him to take the next step and join a club where he will be able to win major trophies. Tottenham have an excellent squad and a quality manager. They could help him fulfil his ambitions.

The attacker has been linked with multiple Premier League clubs this summer, but it seems that Tottenham are now set to win the race for his signature. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he will be expected to make an instant impact. The Crystal Palace star registered 25 goal contributions last season, and Tottenham fans will hope that Eze’s numbers can improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players.
