“It won't happen” – Sky Sports man shares disappointing Tottenham transfer news ahead of deadline day
Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze will not join Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge.
Despite strong interest and speculation linking the talented midfielder with a move to North London, it seems likely that Eze will remain at Selhurst Park for the foreseeable future.
Eze, who has a release clause of £68 million, has been a standout player for Crystal Palace, especially following his impressive season in the Premier League last year.
The 26-year-old scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 27 league appearances, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in the division. His overall record for Palace is equally impressive, with 27 goals and 17 assists in 127 games in all competitions. (Transfermarkt)
His performances have gone unnoticed at international level, with Eze earning a place in England's final 26-man squad for the recent European Championship, further raising his profile.
Michael Bridge on Tottenham's chances of signing Eze
Despite Tottenham's reported interest, Bridge has revealed that a move for Eze is not on the cards this summer.
Speaking about the situation, Bridge shared information from his sources, indicating that there is little chance of a transfer at this level.
He told GiverMeSport:
“I mean he's been heavily linked with Tottenham, and my sources have been telling me that's not going to happen, which is disappointing for Tottenham fans.
“He has been here for one day. Unless it's something mysterious, like nowhere, no one has heard anything from Eze. And I think if they lose Olise and Eze in the same summer, that would be a disaster for Crystal Palace. “
The update will come as a huge disappointment to Spurs fans, who were eager for the club to make a statement by bringing Eze to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, with Crystal Palace determined to keep hold of their star, the prospect of Eze joining Tottenham appears to be off the table at the moment.
