Tottenham Hotspur marquee signing Eberechi Eze on the cards

The tale of Eberechi Eze to Spurs has been a long one, even by Daniel Levy’s standards. The rumour has been running since well before the transfer window opened, and of course, not groundbreaking news to readers of my Substack, where we told you much earlier in the year that the player was open to a move across London.

Reports indicate that Spurs have initiated talks with Palace and are prepared to make a competitive offer, potentially involving a £68 million release clause (though it may have expired on August 15, 2025) or a negotiated payment plan with an initial sum of around £45 million plus instalments.

Spurs need Eberechi Eze
