Tottenham are targeting Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, who can play as an attacking midfielder and wing-forward, according to British media. Eze has made a name for himself in the Premier League this season with his performances. He is the next big thing, having beaten out Tottenham ace James Maddison and Manchester City treble winner Jack Grealish for a place in England's Euro 2024 squad. His price tag has skyrocketed accordingly. Tottenham would have to break the club's transfer record to keep Eze, according to reports.
The Daily Mail reported on July 7 (KST), “Crystal Palace's buyout clause for Eze has been revealed. Crystal Palace will face a huge battle to keep hold of Eze,” the paper reported.
The Daily Mail revealed, 'Confirmed sources say Eze has a minimum release clause of £60 million with an option for an additional £8 million.
The club would need at least £68 million to bring Eze back.
The Daily Mail added: 'He has now been named in England's final squad for Euro 2024. He is preparing for his first major tournament as a senior international. Several Premier League teams have a genuine interest in him. Tottenham also want him.
TBRfootball pointed out that “Tottenham are keen to sign the amazing midfielder, but they will have to pay £5 million more than Tangi Ndombele.
Ndombele is the owner of Tottenham's club record. 카지노사이트 Spurs bought Ndombele for £63 million in 2019. 'Ndombele has been a failure in a Spurs shirt,' TBRFootball pointed out.
Tottenham have opened their wallets a lot lately, including £60 million for Xherdan Shaqiri, £42.5 million for Christian Romero, and £40 million for Maddison. The transfer fee for the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer was reportedly in the region of £100 million.
'Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will spend money if the right player is available,' says TBRFootball. However, it remains to be seen whether he has decided to spend £68 million on Eze.
Maddison took to social media on Saturday night to express his disappointment with the outcome, saying: “I thought there would be a place for me in the 26-man squad.”
England head coach Gareth Southgate announced the final 26-man squad on Sunday. Southgate started the camp with a 33-man preliminary squad. Seven players were eliminated. Maddison was one of the first to pack up and leave the camp. She knew her fate even before the final roster was announced.
"Shocked doesn't even begin to describe it. I trained hard all week. To be honest, when I came back from injury in the second half of the season, my performances at Tottenham were not up to my standards. “I think that's why Southgate made that decision,” she said, admitting that she didn't deserve to be dropped.
Still, it was disappointing. “I thought I still had something to offer,” Maddison says. I was a mainstay throughout the Euro 2024 qualifiers. I thought there would be a place for me in the 26-man squad,” she confesses.
There was no turning back now. "The coach made the decision. I have to respect it. I will definitely be back,” he said, looking forward to the next opportunity.
Madison now cheered on her teammates. “I wish my team, who are my best friends, the best of luck in Germany,” Madison said, and wished them victory.
