Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze in recent months.
The 26-year-old has been outstanding for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and top clubs are keen on him. According to Football Insider, Tottenham and Manchester United are keen on the player, and they have now been handed a major boost in their pursuit of the player.
The report claims that the player has a £68 million release clause in his contract, but Crystal Palace are willing to sell him below that. It remains to be seen whether they can secure his signature for a reasonable amount of money.
Tottenham need more quality and depth in the final third, and the 26-year-old will help create goal-scoring opportunities for them and score goals as well. He has 12 goals to his name this season, and he has picked up 11 assists along the way as well. He has been hailed as an “unbelievable finisher” by Oliver Glasner.
Eze is at the peak of his powers, and he will want to compete at a high level. The opportunity to join Tottenham or Manchester United will be quite exciting for him. Both clubs are currently fighting it out for a place in the Champions League next season, and it remains to be seen which of them manages to secure European qualification.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need attacking depth on the side as well, and the 26-year-old would be an excellent acquisition. He could prove to be a major upgrade on the likes of Antony and Jadon Sancho, both of whom are expected to leave permanently in the summer.
It remains to be seen where the 26-year-old ends up. The opportunity to join a big club will be quite exciting for him, and he will look to compete for trophies with them.
