Tottenham Hotspur are ready to activate Eberechi Eze’s £68 million release clause as incoming manager Thomas Frank targets the Crystal Palace star to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The North London club is preparing for life without long-serving captain Heung-min Son, who is expected to leave this summer.
Eze, of Nigerian descent, has enjoyed the finest season of his professional career, playing a pivotal role in Crystal Palace’s FA Cup triumph and helping the club push for a European spot.
His creativity, versatility, and goal-scoring form have caught the attention of several top sides, but Spurs are now leading the race with a firm intention to secure his services.
According to The Mirror, Frank is eager to bolster Tottenham’s attacking options as they return to the Champions League.
Though the club has also been linked with West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Eze is reportedly viewed as the priority signing.
The move comes amid growing speculation around Son’s potential transfer to the Saudi Pro League. At 32, the South Korean international may be tempted by a lucrative deal as he approaches the twilight of his career.
Tottenham have already secured a permanent deal for Mathys Tel, and the potential addition of Eze would provide Frank with a dynamic attacking core.
With Champions League football on the horizon and a new era under Frank set to begin, Spurs are aiming to build a forward line capable of competing on all fronts.
