Ange Postecoglou has now given the go-ahead for Tottenham to recruit a player from Arsenal after he is released, setting a club record.
Daniel Levy appears willing to invest a lot of money and support the Australian following Spurs’ impressive 2023–24 season, in which the team led the Premier League without a loss after eight games.
Which Tottenham target has Spurs now been given the all-clear to sign by Ange Postecoglou? Let’s examine this.
Accepts, Ange Postecoglou Deal with Ebere Eze
According to a report on TEAMtalk, the 58-year-old has now granted Tottenham permission to spend a record-breaking £68 million for Crystal Palace’s Ebere Eze.
Spurs are interested in the England international, whom Arsenal released in 2011 when he was 13 years old. He had an incredible 2023–24 season, making 27 Premier League games, scoring 11 goals and dishing out four assists. If a formal agreement is reached, TEAMtalk believes Tottenham would give Crystal Palace a guaranteed £60 million for Eze in addition to £8 million in bonuses.
This would set a new record for Spurs acquisition, exceeding the £53.8 million paid for Tanguy Ndombele in 2019.
Spurs will meet with the 25-year-old later this week, according to a different report from Football Transfers, as Postecoglou pursues his first significant contract of the summer.
Tottenham has been making moves.
This is not a development that just happened overnight. To add gasoline to the flames, Tottenham even set up a VIP box for Eze’s entourage during Crystal Palace’s 3-1 loss to the north Londoners in March.
The man from Greenwich was then spotted engaging in lengthy conversations with Spurs players.
The Crystal Palace star, who is interestingly represented by CAA Base, an agency close to Spurs that also represents James Maddison, Heung-min Son, Pape Matar Sarr, and Pedro Porro, appears to be the subject of a simmering mystery that has been building for months.
