Tottenham reached gentlemen’s agreement with Eberechi Eze this summer

Football Transfers say that Tottenham’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze has hit a major roadblock as the attacking midfielder’s head was turned by other Premier League clubs in the summer.

Spurs have been keeping an eye on Eberechi Eze

The report says that Spurs have been chasing Eze for over a year and even reached a gentlemen’s agreement with the player and his representatives ahead of the summer window, subject to them meeting the 25-year-old’s £68m release clause.

However, it is explained that the England international’s head was turned after some rivals made contact with his camp, urging him to hold on and reassess his options.

 

Eze ended up staying with Crystal Palace beyond the summer transfer window deadline, but the transfer rumours are expected to roll into 2025.

Arsenal and Man City also want Eze

The report suggests that Arsenal and Manchester City are likely the two clubs who turned Eze’s head with their interest in the summer.

 

Ange Postecoglou and Johan Lange eventually decided to use the funds put aside for Eze on Dominic Solanke instead.

The outlet claims that since the Palace star is now being tempted by Spurs’ Premier League rivals, his proposed move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is in doubt.

One can understand why Eze’s head would have been turned if one of Arsenal or Manchester City entered the picture.

Whether or not Spurs go back in for the Palace star could depend on how Bergvall develops and also on whether Kulusevski continues to be deployed centrally.
