During this transfer window, Eberechi Eze has become the focal point of attention across London. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur have all expressed significant interest in acquiring the Crystal Palace midfielder. At present, Tottenham Hotspur appears poised to take a decisive lead in this competitive race. After bidding farewell to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (who recently transferred to another club), the London side is leaving no stone unturned in their chase to sign an immediate replacement.

Tottenham planning first move on Eberechi Eze

Arsenal has been persistently pursuing the acquisition of Eberechi Eze, despite Crystal Palace’s valuation of $77.5 million. However, due to Eze’s Euro 2024 commitments, negotiations have stalled. As the 26-year-old, who performed impressively at Euro 2024, is scheduled to return from his post-Euro break shortly, transfer discussions are expected to resume imminently.

In a recent development, Tottenham Hotspur has made the initial move and is reportedly showing the most significant interest in securing Eze’s signature upon his return. For the 13x Premier League winners, their aspirations appear to be diminishing amid reports suggesting that Eberechi Eze himself favors a transition to Spurs over joining Arsenal. The outlook seems promising for Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou in his efforts to recruit the English midfielder.

Nevertheless, ‘The Lilywhites’ are not alone in this competitive pursuit. Liverpool has also entered the fray and expressed their intent to sign the sought-after player. Currently, both Arne Slot’s side and Ange Postecoglou’s side are considered frontrunners in this race. Additionally, it appears that Tottenham remains proactive on multiple fronts as they prepare another strategic maneuver aimed at undermining Arsenal’s ambitions by targeting another key player.

Ange Postecoglou ready to thwart another big Arsenal ambition

Turkish forward Baris Alper Yilmaz has become a focal point in the transfer window, significantly shaking up the English teams. Following his standout performance at Euro 2024, Yilmaz, who plays for Galatasaray, has attracted considerable attention. Recognizing this interest, Galatasaray has set a valuation of $32.6 million for their star player. Liverpool emerges as one of the primary contenders for the forward’s signature and is reported to be closely tracking his progress.

On the other hand, Arsenal is also making some huge moves. It has been reported that the Gunners are preparing to hold a meeting with the player’s agent. However, Tottenham seem to have also laid their eyes on the Turkish star. Ange Postecoglou seems to be still interested in the forward and hasn’t backed out yet. It will be interesting to see in whose favor this whole ordeal ends up favoring.
