Eberechi Eze is increasingly unlikely to join Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, with the North London club prioritising bolstering other positions.
According to a report by Football Insider, Eberechi Eze has been the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. However, the North London club will not pursue the Crystal Palace attacker as they want to bolster their central defensive and central midfield options in the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old is also a target for Arsenal and Liverpool.
Eberechi Eze and his rise at Crystal Palace
Eberechi Eze has been one of the best playmakers in the Premier League since joining Crystal Palace from Queens Park Rangers in August 2020. While the Englishman has battled fitness issues in the last four years, he has constantly been a pivotal figure for the South London club.
The 26-year-old has turned out 125 times thus far for Crystal Palace while chipping in with 26 goals and 17 assists. Meanwhile, Eze’s progress at Selhurst Park has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur.
A man in demand
Mikel Arteta has pushed Arsenal to create a squad with two top-class options for every position. So, the Gunners have been eager to bolster their attack in the summer transfer window by signing a versatile forward. Eze fits the bill for Arsenal, with his versatility making him the subject of attraction for the North London club.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s interest in Eberechi Eze is understandable. The Reds have been keen on reinforcing their creative options in the summer transfer window, and a versatile attacker like Eze is a viable target for the Merseyside outfit. However, Liverpool and Arsenal have not submitted bids to secure Eze’s services, and an offer might not arrive this summer.
As for Tottenham, they have aggressively pursued Eberechi Eze’s signature in the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Englishman can be an option on the flanks or through the centre as an alternative to James Maddison. However, Tottenham will not launch the offensive to sign the Crystal Palace forward.
Tottenham will prioritise signing a centre-back and a central midfielder before the summer transfer window closes. So, they are increasingly unlikely to pursue Eze, with Arsenal and Liverpool also out of the picture.
