Insider reveals significant update on Eberechi Eze’s move to Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur could be on the verge of another summer transfer deal after a breakthrough in negotations.

Spurs fans have become all too wary about potential incomings after the Morgan Gibbs-White deal fell through at the latter stages which ended in the England midfielder signing a new contract with Nottingham Forest.

Thomas Frank has been on the lookout for a new creative addition to his midfield after James Maddison suffered an ACL injury during the pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in South Korea which will see him sidelined until next year.

Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has been heavily linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in recent days with conflicting reports circulating over just how close a move could be.

Tottenham close in on Eberechi Eze transfer

Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe has taken to social media platform X on Tuesday afternoon to reveal a significant update on talks between the two clubs.

O’Keefe has shared his understanding that Tottenham and Palace have now reached a verbal agreement over a deal to bring Eze to the Europa League champions.

Eyebrows were raised in North London when the 27-year-old was named in the Crystal Palace team for their opening Premier League fixture against Chelsea on Sunday, where the midfielder saw an impressive free-kick disallowed.

It now remains to be seen when Tottenham can get the deal formally over the line with Palace set to play their first-ever European fixture on Thursday, while Spurs face the tough trip to Manchester City on Saturday lunchtime.
