Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that one Premier League star ranks very high on Tottenham’s summer wishlist, but the journalist has explained why a move for the player from the North Londoners is not inevitable.
We are now well into the summer transfer window but Tottenham Hotspur have only completed one signing so far, agreeing a deal with Bayern Munich for the permanent transfer of Mathys Tel.
It was claimed a few days ago by Alasdair Gold that we can expect Spurs to sign two or three more players before the start of pre-season.
The man who has been most heavily linked with a move to Tottenham over recent days is Eberechi Eze, who Spurs allegedly want to make their marquee signing of the summer.
It has even been revealed that Eze is keen on making a move to the North London club this summer, but it is not clear at the moment if the Crystal Palace star is indeed one of Spurs’ top targets.
Fabrizio Romano reveals Tottenham’s stance on Eberechi Eze
Over recent days, some journalists have said that Eze is just one of many attackers that Tottenham are monitoring.
In fact, Sky Sports have even claimed that Spurs have done more work on deals for Bryan Mbeumo and Antonie Semenyo than Eze.
Romano has now revealed what his sources are telling him about Tottenham’s pursuit of the England international.
The Italian journalist explained that while Tottenham are fans of the 26-year-old, they still have not decided whether to push ahead with an offer for him.
Romano told GiveMeSport: “Tottenham love Eze, he’s on the list for sure. But no final decision has been made yet.”
Spurs are facing plenty of competition for Eze
Earlier this week, TEAMtalk claimed that Tottenham are considering proposing a player plus cash offer for Eze, but the outlet did not reveal which of their players the Lilywhites are planning to offer to the Eagles.
The same report also revealed that Spurs are facing competition from Manchester United, Newcastle United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Bayern Munich for the versatile attacker.
What makes the transfer pursuit even more complicated for Tottenham is that it was alleged that Palace are currently trying to tie down their star man to a new contract.
