Tottenham is expected to recruit Eberechi Eze in the transfer market this summer.
British Football Insider reported on the 14th (Korea time) that Tottenham has made a full-fledged move to recruit Crystal Palace to Eze, adding that `Eze has a buyout clause of 68 million pounds (about 126.3 billion won) in the contract signed at Selhurst Park, but Tottenham plans to offer a lower amount in initial negotiations this summer.'
Eze, an attacking midfielder born in 1998, joined Palace in the 2020-2021 season after making his mark at Queens Park Rangers. He also showed rapid growth as a starting player at Palace. In the 2022-2023 season, he has grown to the point where he scored 10 league goals and four assists, and he also scored double-digit points last season. This season, he set a career high record with 12 goals and 11 assists in 40 official games.
Eze is a second-line resource with excellent personal breakthrough power. You can shake your opponent's organization with your personal dribbling. It's a style that Tottenham doesn't have at the moment. Eze is a player who shines when he has the ball, but he is not the type of player who is greedy. He also makes good use of his colleagues' movements. If he comes to Tottenham, it is expected that he will be able to revitalize from the center or the side of the second line.
This is not the first time that Eze has been transferred to Tottenham. Tottenham also targeted Eze last summer. "Eze is one of Tottenham's top targets this summer," said British Football London reporter Aresdier Gold at the time. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said he liked Eze very much. However, Palace had no intention of selling Eze unless it was a buyout clause, and Tottenham pulled out of the deal.
This summer, Tottenham is expected to target Eze more actively. Football Insider added 'Tottenham is active in reinforcing attacking midfielders. In particular, it would be even more so if they won the Europa League final next week to secure a place in the European Champions League.
However, if Eze is recruited, it will be necessary to organize the offensive traffic. James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are in the center of the second line, and on the left is Matisse Tel, where Son Heung-min is talking about a full recruitment. On the right, Wilson O'Dowbert and Brennan Johnson are being appointed.
On top of that, there are many prospects who will join from the preseason. There are also many prospects such as Mikey Moore and Yang Min-hyuk, so if Eze is recruited, the second-line resources will be oversaturated. It seems necessary to organize the offense and reinforce it in other positions that are lacking.
Tottenham has not moved in earnest yet, but it is expected to enter the transfer market depending on the outcome of the Europa League final. Before entering the transfer market, coach Enze Postecoglou's future is also expected to be important. This is because if a new coach is appointed, the coach must recruit the player he wants.
