Ex-Tottenham Hotspur defender Alan Hutton has backed his former club to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze this summer.
Despite enjoying a promising start last season, the Lilywhites finished the season poorly and ultimately failed to secure the title. Champions League qualification.
Spurs are said to be looking to stay busy on this transfer window to reinforce the team in order to continue the reconstruction under the direction of Ange Postecoglou.
The Lilywhites are reportedly planning to strengthen the defensive line and engine room, but signing a new striker is also on their agenda. Furthermore, it seems that signing a new attacking midfielder to create competition for James Maddison is also on Postecoglou's wish list.
Tottenham are reported to be interested in signing Eze, but Tottenham will have to spend big for him, as they have done. a £60m buyout clause in his current contract.
Eze to Tottenham
Now, speaking of Tottenham newsHutton has said that Eze is a “talented” player and has the ability to score goals and create opportunities for his teammates.
So, the former defender claims that the Crystal Palace star would be an excellent signing for Tottenham and Daniel Levy could be willing to sign the player for the £60m fee.
Huton said:
“Yes, I think so for someone who has so much talent and is at a good age. He (Eze) just goes out and plays with a smile on his face, he plays with a lot of freedom and has a lot of attacking quality. He can score goals, he can assist, these are the type of players you need and he has been rewarded for his good form by being chosen for the England squad.
“I think he could become a shining star, so £60m is about right. If you look at some of the prices being charged now for players who aren't as good, I can understand it. “If it’s going to be available for that price, I think Levy will spend it.”
Eze enjoyed a stellar campaign last season and as a result was selected to play for England in the European Championship. So he is a first division Proven star and also an England international, so signing a player like him would certainly strengthen Tottenham's squad should they acquire him this summer.
