Tottenham reportedly interested in Premier League star
By Tom Vinall
GiveMeSport is reporting that Tottenham has pinpointed Eberchi Eze as a target ahead of the summer transfer window.
However, they also said that Crystal Palace will only listen to offers North of £60m. Not even only accept offers above £60m, but will only listen to offers of that sort of money.
So if Spurs are to somehow, someway make this happen you would imagine a number of players will have to be sold.
One potential positive, however, is per Fabrizio Romano, Palace is closing on Daichi Kamada from Lazio. Kamada is also an attacking midfielder, so Palace may be less desperate to keep hold of Eze.
Kamada isn't as good as Eze, but Palace manager Oliver Glasner worked with the Japanese international at Eintracht Frankfurt, so might see him as quite important to his plans in South London. Thus, less reluctant to lose Eze.

Eze's price is a premium one, but he showed under Glasner that he is one of the best-attacking players in the Premier League. The England international ended the season in scintillating form, scoring five goals and registering two assists in his final six games of the Premier League season (Drew at Fulham when he was injured), including the winner at Anfield, as Palace took the maximum eighteen points available from those games (SofaScore).
Spurs fans will remember his direct-free kick to open the scoring in an eventual 3-1 win for Spurs earlier on in the campaign.
Spurs also are in desperate need of homegrown players to fill the quota so Eze would be a big help in that regard. The Palace man is currently on international duty with Spurs' own James Maddison and will be praying he is included in the final 26-man squad.
