Tottenham Hotspurs reportedly held talks with Crystal Palace organizer Eberechi Eze’s deal, but he wasn’t the only goal they were playing the game, as chairman Daniel Levy also evaluated other options.
Eze’s dramatic late moves will seriously help put the Spurs behind in recent weeks for weeks.
In the space in the early August days, Thomas Frank was forced to wave emotional goodbye to legendary son Heung-Min and found a way to cope without the creative influence of James Maddison.
Cristian Romero has replaced the Korean as captain of the Lily White since his son left, but Frank is still trying to fill the huge gap left by Maddison’s severe injury.
The heart is in the mouth when the 28-year-old fell on the sod and stretched with Newcastle in Seoul, and thereafter it was confirmed that Maddison would miss most of the 2025/2026 season after suffering an ACL rupture.
Before losing his son and Madison in different ways, Tottenham missed a £60m deal by Morgan Gibbs – the weirdest fashion trend.
The initial plan was to supplement Gibbs White’s arrival with Maddison, but unfortunately, Frank entered the new season, although they also booked the latter’s medical expenses last month.
Dejan Kulusevski’s long layoffs with injury compound Tottenham’s trouble, but their new talks for Eze have sparked hopes that North Londoners will be able to support the much-needed new creators by the summer deadline.
The Spurs are in talks and are currently trading Ez and Manchester City winger Savignho respectively, but as we have seen so far from their transfer window, Tottenham’s business is seldom simple.
If a deal cannot be reached for Eze, the club does have a backup goal, one of which is Como Sensation Nico Paz.
Tottenham weighs como star Nico Paz after allegedly rejecting bid
Last week, Sky Italy reporter Gianluca di Marzio reported that Tottenham had a £35 million offer for Paz, but his colleague Michael Bridge now said Frank’s side was still in the Argentine.
According to Bridge, Tottenham is believed to be weighing Paz as their choice to find 10th place in the fresh Sky Sports update, but that can be very difficult.
“What the main players of the Spurs want is No. 10, guard and winger,” the Bridge said in the Q&A.
“Eberechi Eze is a player with radar.
“Now, Crystal Palace midfielders can be seen as their primary goal. They have also evaluated other goals including Como’s Nico Paz – but that seems difficult to do.”
CESC Fabregas’ Como set a valuation of about £60m for the 20-year-old, similar to the price of Eze, which can be said to be considered a gamble.
Despite soccer icon Lionel Messi’s praise, Paz has only one full regular football season and the Spurs now need a more verified organizer.
“Nico has many qualities and understands the game perfectly,” Messi said.
“His mind is impressive and he is working with my friend (CESC Fabregas) and he will help him grow more.”
