Eberechi Eze is one of the Premier League stars that is yet to secure a big move this window. The Crystal Palace star has been linked with Spurs for some time and Manchester City were said to be keen on the England international.
James Maddison has shown his class in the first two games of the season from that advanced playmaker role but behind him, Postecoglou lacks a clinical No.10.
Tottenham have been told they will have to cough up around £80million if they want to land one of their final targets of what would be an excellent transfer window for Ange Postecoglou.
The north London club have brought in Timo Werner (loan), Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert and South Korean starlet Min-hyeok Yang this summer, but Postecoglou would still like to add another central defender and central midfielder before the window shuts on Friday.
That was down to Fabrizio Romano revealing that the release clause in Eze’s contract had expired, meaning that any suitors would have to enter into negotiations with the Eagles to sign the player.
And although Eberechi Eze does not really fit into either of those categories, it’s reported that Tottenham are still keen on trying to strike a deal for the Crystal Palace and England attacker.
While it was always going to be a difficult task for Spurs to lure the player to north London anyway, developments at the start of this week pretty much ended any hope they had of striking a deal.

When asked how much the England international would cost, Jordan responded: “£80million. Why would Palace sell him? They’ve got £140million coming in on players.
“A lot of that is probably structured so it is up-front money. So why would they need to sell Eze as well? Someone is going to have to pay big bucks to get Eze.”
