Eberechi Eze is one step away from signing for Tottenham. Eberechi Eze is about to take a significant step in his career. The midfielder from Crystal Palace has agreed personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur since the beginning of the week, as confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Eze has been included in Palace's team to face Chelsea, despite reports that he would be left out, but Tottenham remain hopeful of securing the England playmaker's signature for two major reasons

According to reports, Thomas Frank has ‘approved’ Tottenham Hotspur’s ‘priority’ signing after Eberechi Eze as they have ‘launched a £70m bid’. Spurs have been active in this summer’s transfer window as the ninth-biggest spending club in Europe. They have invested around £120m on signings, notably Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel and Joao Pahlinha.

The Liverpool Echo reports that the Toffees are in the market to sign a wide man, but have been priced out of a move for Dibling by Southampton. Manchester United want to accept Roma’s bid of £20million for Jadon Sancho.

Hotspur are in advanced talks with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze, who Arsenal have decided not to sign this summer.

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.

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.
