Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze continues to be linked with a move away from the London club.
The 26-year-old was linked with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United during the summer transfer window. However, a move did not materialise back then.
Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that the player is still appreciated by Tottenham and they could face competition from Manchester United. Eze will cost around £60 million, due to a release clause in his contract and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham or Manchester United are prepared to pay up.
Romano said on YouTube: “Several clubs are keeping a close eye on Eberechi Eze. We know he’s always been appreciated by Tottenham. We know several other clubs have been scouting him, including Manchester United. Man United want to invest in a winger in 2025. They’ve not decided who that is going to be, so let’s wait. Let’s see what happens.
“But for sure, Eze is one of the players they have been scouting again, among many others. So, I’m not saying that he’s the only one, or he is the priority target. But for sure, Eze is a player appreciated around England. The release clause will still be there for summer 2025, in the region of £60 million.”
Spurs and Man United could use Eberechi Eze
The London outfit could certainly use more quality and cutting-edge in the final third. The England international is capable of operating as a winger as well as a central attacking midfielder. He could compete with James Maddison for the starting spot. Competition for places will help Tottenham improve as a team. His ability to create goalscoring opportunities and get on the score sheet could make him a valuable asset for the London outfit.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are looking to add more quality to their attacking unit as well, and they want to invest in a wide player. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Crystal Palace star in the coming months.
Both clubs have the financial muscle to get the deal done and Eze will want to join a club where he will be able to push for major trophies on a consistent basis.
