Report: Arsenal could ruin Tottenham’s plans of landing key Postecoglou target
Tottenham’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze may have just got a lot trickier as it has now emerged that Arsenal are also among the clubs showing an interest in the Crystal Palace star.
Eberechi Eze is one of Tottenham’s top targets
Eze is currently with the England squad at the Euros but the speculation over the attacking midfielder’s future is intensifying back home.
Several reliable sources have reported over recent days that Tottenham hold a serious interest in Eze but it has been explained that a move for the 25-year-old will be far from straightforward (Football.London).
On Tuesday, TBR Football even asserted that Spurs had now reached out to the former QPR star’s representatives regarding a summer move.
The report explained that the player is willing to move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but Ange Postecoglou’s side would likely have to meet his release clause, which stands at over £60m.
Arsenal enter the race for Eberechi Eze
The Guardian have backed up the same claim about the asking price, stating that Eze is expected to cost more than £60m.
However, they report that Tottenham are not the only ones monitoring the midfielder, with their North London rivals Arsenal and Premier League champions Manchester City also considering moves.
The report adds that the Eagles are aware of the growing interest in Eze and are now bracing themselves for offers for their star man.

One would think that an approach from either Man City or Arsenal is likely to turn Eze’s head but one would hope that Ange Postecoglou can convince the 25-year-old that he would be perfect for his system at Spurs and thrive at N17.
