Tottenham Hotspur's chase for Eberechi Eze is running into trouble. Recent updates suggest that talks with Crystal Palace have hit a roadblock.

Football Transfers reports that Spurs are having a tough time making headway with the deal for the attacking midfielder, which might push them to look at other players to boost their squad.

The key issues in the negotiations appear to be disagreements over the transfer fee and the payment structure. While the exact details of the impasse are unclear, it’s evident that both clubs have not been able to reach a consensus.

The report refutes claims of a release clause in Eze’s contract but highlights that there is a gentlemen’s agreement in place. This informal understanding suggests that Eze could be allowed to leave for around €70 million.

Despite this, neither Tottenham nor any other interested parties have shown a willingness to meet this substantial price tag for the England international. As a result, it seems increasingly likely that Eze will remain at Selhurst Park beyond this summer.

For Tottenham, this development means they may need to shift their focus to other potential targets if they are to strengthen Ange Postecoglou’s attacking lineup for the upcoming season.

The club’s strategy appears to involve clearing out some of their current squad members before committing to major transfers. This approach has led to concerns among Spurs fans, who are growing anxious about the lack of progress on securing high-profile signings.

This situation highlights the tough spot Tottenham is in with their transfers. With the new season just around the corner, their struggle to wrap up deals for their top targets could affect how ready and effective they are.

The hold-up in bringing in key players, along with the need to get rid of some current squad members, is adding extra uncertainty to their plans for the season.

The big question is whether Spurs can pivot to other targets and bring in the reinforcements they need to make a strong push in the new season.
