Tottenham is close to recruiting Eberechi Eze. An official announcement is expected soon.

Reporter Aresdier Gold, who is considered to be the best at Tottenham's internal information, said on the 20th (Korea time) through British media Football London that `Tottenham Hotspur is nearing the signing of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, and further negotiations are scheduled between the two clubs to reach a final agreement. Tottenham recently reported that James Maddison is seeking to sign 27-year-old England international midfielder Eze after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in a pre-season game against Newcastle in South Korea.

The negotiations were determined to be at the final stage. Reporter Gold did not reveal how much Tottenham invested in recruiting Eze, but most other leading media outlets are reporting that Tottenham offered a bonus clause of 5 million pounds (about 103.7 billion won) for 55 million pounds (about 9.4 billion won).

Now the remaining negotiations are on how to pay the transfer fee. For this negotiation, it is understood that Daniel Levy, the current chairman of Tottenham, and Steve Parish Palace owner are talking directly.

Journalist Gold said, `There is currently a positive atmosphere in bringing Eze to Tottenham. Eze has joined Thomas Frank's team and conveyed to the club that he wants to play in the European Champions League (UCL) stage this season, and Tottenham and Palace plan to hold further negotiations for a final agreement." It is expected that the recruitment of Eze will be concluded as early as this week.

After the weekend's match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Eze appeared to be hinting at a farewell to Palace fans in preparation for the possibility that his trip to Tottenham could be completed within this week. The outcome of the negotiations over the next few days will determine whether Eze will play for Oliver Glasner's team or Frank's team."

Eze, the ace of Palace, is a playmaker who has completed Premier League (EPL) verification completely. After showing potential at Queens Park Rangers (QPR), he entered Palace and expressed potential from the 2022-2023 season. He has led Palace in the last three seasons, consistently raising nearly 15 offensive points in the league.

As a player with both scoring ability and creativity, he is expected to take on a new pillar of Tottenham's attack. Tottenham lost Madison ahead of the season and plans to recruit Eze to resolve the creativity gap with Dejan Kulusevski yet to return.

With Tottenham's recruitment of Savinho, which was aimed at as Son Heung-min's successor, on the verge of failure, attention is focusing on whether Eze will inherit Son Heung-min's number.
