Tottenham Hotspur are making waves in the transfer market as they set their sights on Nigerian-born England international Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace’s creative powerhouse. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder, who has dazzled fans with his flair and goalscoring ability, has now emerged as a prime target for Spurs as they seek to bolster their attacking options.
The push for Eze comes as Tottenham grapple with the absence of playmaker James Maddison, who has been sidelined for most of the season with a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury. Sources close to the club suggest that manager Thomas Frank is determined to inject fresh creativity and attacking firepower into the squad, with Eze high on his wishlist.

Eze enjoyed a standout season last year, netting 14 goals across all competitions for Crystal Palace, including a historic strike that sealed a 1-0 FA Cup final win over Manchester City. Since making his England debut in 2023, he has racked up 11 caps and featured in three matches during Euro 2024, cementing his status as one of the Premier League’s most exciting talents.
While Tottenham are also in advanced discussions with Manchester City for Brazilian winger Savinho, multiple reports indicate that Eze is becoming the priority signing. However, Arsenal are lurking in the background, having monitored the Palace star for months. The Gunners, though, are currently focused on trimming their squad, with Leandro Trossard, Reiss Nelson, and Fabio Vieira tipped to leave in the coming weeks.
Eze’s journey to the top has been remarkable. Signed from Queens Park Rangers in 2020 for £19.5 million, he has since scored 40 goals in 168 appearances for Palace and remains contracted to Selhurst Park until the summer of 2027.
With both North London rivals circling, the battle for Eze’s signature is set to intensify. Spurs’ aggressive pursuit could force Arsenal into action, setting the stage for one of the most intriguing Premier League transfer tussles of the summer.
