Spurs have been linked with Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze for some time now with the latest rumours suggesting the midfielder wants to remain in London.
Spurs were tipped to be one of the front runners to sign Eberechi Eze, who has a £60 million release clause in his contract at Crystal Palace, according to the Daily Mail.
Manchester City were believed to be, alongside Tottenham, ready to trigger the midfielder’s release clause, but then decided they wouldn’t be making a move for the 26-year-old ahead of next season. (The Athletic)
That was until reports on Kevin De Bruyne exiting Manchester City this summer. The Daily Mail revealed that City’s star man had agreed personal terms over a switch to Saudi Arabian side, Al-Ittihad.
The rumour is believed to have made Man City re-consider their stance on Eze with the Premier League champions weighing up a move. (Mirror)
However, a report from Give Me Sport has revealed that Eze would like to remain in London ahead of next season.
Eze’s preference to not move away from the capital, where he currently is with Crystal Palace, may nullify Manchester City’s chances of signing the £60 million-rated midfielder and hand Tottenham a huge boost.
Spurs fans may be worried still about North London rivals, Arsenal, looking to sign Eze but Football Transfers revealed weeks ago that Eze is reportedly keener on a switch to Tottenham over Arsenal due to concerns about his playing time with the latter.

As the saga regarding Eberechi Eze rumbles on, the more it seems imperative that Tottenham must move fast in order to get a deal secured for the Crystal Palace man.
Manchester City as well as other top clubs will likely turn to Eze as an option should they lose one of their creative players, with the release clause effectively making any deal a free-for-all between clubs.
If rumours are true that Eze currently fancies a move to Tottenham therefore, they should act swiftly before there’s any chance that changes.
