TEAMtalk on MSNTottenham make ‘offer’ for ‘unbelievable’ star who ‘wants to join’
Hotspur are in advanced talks with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze, who Arsenal have decided not to sign this summer.
Pape Matar Sarr is once again set to play in the more advanced midfield role, with the deal for the 27-year-old unlikely to be done in time for the first game of the new season. That means just one change for the former Brentford manager, with Wilson Odobert coming in to replace Kevin Danso to allow Spurs to be a bit more attacking.
Man United's interest in Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba is thought to have cooled, but are now considering alternatives. Elsewhere, Chelsea have made it clear they want two further signings in addition to letting Nicolas Jackson leave,
Tottenham are in talks to sign the attacking duo in separate deals (Fabrizio Romano), as Levy attempts to compensate for the loss of Son Heung-min to LAFC and James Maddison to long-term injury.
The latest transfer news surrounding Eberechi Eze is very promising for Tottenham Hotspur fans, while a possible move for Savinho to Spurs is heating up too.
Summer signings Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha both starred for Tottenham as they fell agonisingly short of lifting their second trophy in the space of four months, but Frank added post-match that he needs reinforcements in the closing weeks of the window.
The outlet states that Eze is likely to have already "played his last game for Palace", with Levy and co working on a plan to make a "quick breakthrough" in negotiations to sign the ex-QPR star.
Contact between Tottenham and Crystal Palace was made a week ago, with Spurs developing a clear plan to progress talks. While there is an understanding that Palace could reject their first proposal, Tottenham remain poised to respond immediately with a follow-up offer.
