Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning a summer raid to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, according to The independent.
Having enjoyed a promising campaign under Ange Postecoglou this season, the Lilywhites are expected to make some new signings in the next window to continue the rebuild.
According to the report of The independentSpurs want to strengthen their front line by signing a pacey winger this summer and have identified Eze as a key target.
However, the report claims that securing the Englishman's services will not be easy for the north London club, as city of manchester They have also shown great interest in securing his signature, while the player is carried away by the prospect of joining the Citizens and playing under Pep Guardiola.
So, The Independent claims that should Spurs fail to secure Eze's signature, they are lining up Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto as alternative options. The report says that Arsenal They are also interested in the Portuguese, but are likely to prioritize signing other targets, so Tottenham could manage to acquire the 23-year-old this summer.
The Spurs seek to strengthen the team
It has been suggested that Crystal Palace want a fee of around £77 million sell Eze, while Wolves don't want to cash in on Neto unless they get an offer for anything. less than 60 million pounds. Spurs will therefore have to spend a lot of money to sign any of their key targets this summer.
Eze and Neto are highly talented players and have already demonstrated their qualities in the first division in recent years. So signing either striker would be a huge coup for Spurs if they finally manage to do so.
However, Eze does not play as a winger at Selhurst Park, instead he has been used as an attacking midfielder. So Neto would be a better option than Eze to be deployed on the flanks. He is fast, works hard out of possession and also contributes in front of goal.
Therefore, the Portuguese would be an excellent signing for the north London club to strengthen its offensive department. However, it will be interesting to see if the Lilywhites finally manage to purchase any of the forwards during the off-season.
