Spurs Want to Lure Eze Out of Palace

Tottenham are exploring a deal for Crystal Palace and England forward Eberechi Eze.

Thomas Frank is looking to bolster his options in the final third after attacking midfielder James Maddison was ruled out for the majority of the seasonwith an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

South Korea forward Son Heung-min left the clubafter 10 years earlier this month having scored 173 goals in 454 appearances, while midfielder Dejan Kulusevski is still out after knee surgery.

Eze scored 14 goals across all competitions for Palace last season, including in their 1-0 win against Manchester Cityin the FA Cup final.

Asked directly about Eze in a news conference before Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup against Paris St-Germain, Frank said: “I think there are a lot of good players out there.

“There are also a few from the PSG team but I don’t think we can buy them right now.

“In general, players in or players out, I always speaking about something that is done or not done. In general, I will speak about my own players.”

Eze, 27, made his England debut in 2023 and has won 11 caps for the Three Lions, including three appearances at Euro 2024.

Tottenham are also in talks with Manchester City over a move for Savinhobut multiple sources have indicated Eze is now emerging as a player of serious interest for Spurs.

There is no confirmation whether Tottenham will look to progress with deals for both Brazil winger Savinho and Eze.
