Tottenham have perfect transfer welcome gift lined up for Eberechi Eze

Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to be linked with a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.

The England international's future has been the subject of intense speculation all summer as a move away from Selhurst Park looks increasingly likely.

There have also been rumours that Arsenal have shown an interest in signing Eze, although recent speculation has suggested that Tottenham would be the 27-year-old's most likely destination if he were to join a new club before the September 1 deadline.

Eze was reported to have a £68million release clause in his contract at Palace earlier in the summer, although there have been reports that it is no longer in effect.

As a result, Spurs would need to agree a fee with Palace in order to have a chance of bringing Eze to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

If Tottenham were to agree a deal to sign Eze, they would have the perfect welcome gift to offer the playmaker upon his arrival.

Spurs would need to award Eze a squad number which he would wear during his time at the club, and one number has become available this summer.

The No.7 is available to new signings and was previously worn by Son Heung-min, who recently left the club to join Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer.

It remains to be seen if Eze would take the number, with the Palace star currently wearing No.10 at Palace. That number is not available at Spurs, due to it being occupied by James Maddison.

Spurs have made six new signings so far this summer, with Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic and Kota Takai joining the club on permanent deals, while Joao Palhinha has signed from Bayern Munich on loan for the campaign.
