Tottenham had gentlemen’s agreement to land nine-cap England international in the summer transfer window
Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a magnificent summer transfer window as they brought some ceiling-raising players while maintaining their transfer strategy to sign young players with sky-high potential.
The North Londoners did bring in Archie Grey and Lucas Bregvall, two teenagers who look like they belong to the elites. However, Ange Postecoglou did want to bring in a maestro to support the development of the aforementioned duo.
The club identified Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze as a potential target for the summer, although a move for the nine-capped England international hit hand brakes when other Premier League clubs joined the train to his signatures, per Football Transfers.
The report indicates that Lilywhites have been vying for a move for the 26-year-old over a year and also reached a gentleman’s agreement with Eze and his representatives going into the summer transfer window. The agreement was subject to Daniel Levy meeting the £68m release clause in his current contract at Selhurst Park Stadium.
Football Transfers go on to acknowledge that while Eze had an agreement to join White Hart Lane, his heads turned when other elite clubs joined the race and asked the player to hold and access his options before taking a decision.
The player concluded the summer at Crystal Palace despite having been linked with a move away from N17. However, the transfer rumours linking him with a move to some of the most elite sides in Europe are expected to follow ahead of the 2025 window.
