Tottenham Nears Eberechi Eze Deal to Replace Injured Maddison

Tottenham Hotspur are actively pursuing a transfer for Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze as they seek to bolster their attacking options following long-term injuries to key players James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Eze, who scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists last season and played a crucial role in Palace's FA Cup final victory, is seen as a prime target to fill the creative gap at Spurs. Despite a £68m release clause expiring, Tottenham must negotiate directly with Crystal Palace, who may demand around £60m plus add-ons. Arsenal also show interest in Eze, but their need to sell players to fund a potential transfer gives Spurs an advantage. Additionally, Spurs are exploring other attacking reinforcements, including talks with Manchester City over winger Savinho. Manager Thomas Frank prioritizes strengthening the squad ahead of the transfer deadline to maintain Spurs' competitiveness in the Champions League.
