Report: Tottenham monitoring £68m playmaker James Maddison loves with January decision already made

Tottenham Hotspur fans may well be left feeling more could have been done in the summer transfer window after a turbulent start to the season.

Ange Postecoglou’s side did spend considerably, though, with Tottenham breaking their transfer record with the addition of Dominic Solanke.

However, there was one other big money player who the Lilywhites missed out on during the summer window.

Eberechi Eze was of interest to Tottenham over the summer but the Crystal Palace playmaker was hit with a hefty asking price.

With the January window approaching quickly, it seems the Eagles have already made a decision with clubs keeping a close eye on the England international.

Tottenham still keen to sign Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze

According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham are one of the Premier League sides which are still keeping an eye on Eze ahead of the upcoming transfer windows.

Arsenal have also showed interest in Eze and are among other clubs like Manchester City and Newcastle United keen on the playmaker.

However, these clubs already face one issue with the report claiming Palace have already decided they will rebuff any interest in January.

With Palace having already lost the likes of Michael Olise recently, it would take an offer of no less than £60m to see the Eagles part with their prized asset.

James Maddison already approves of Eberechi Eze

Ironically, James Maddison has already given his approval of Eze’s talent despite him potentially being a player who could replace him from the Spurs side.

Maddison has struggled for form at Tottenham this season which may beg the question of whether Postecoglou needs to make a change.

Spurs saw first hand on the weekend just what Eze could offer them after providing a stunning assist for the only goal of the afternoon.

Following Eze’s England debut back in 2023, Maddison hailed the Palace man as a ‘proper player’ in his celebratory Instagram post.

But it is clear Spurs will have to beat some considerable competition to Eze’s signature if they are to sign him.
