Tottenham backed to sign Eberechi Eze amid £60m transfer news at Crystal Palace

Bryan King wants Tottenham to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.

The ex-Spurs scout is a big fan of the England international.

It comes after a report in Give Me Sport (28 May) revealed that Chelsea and Spurs both want to sign Eze, who won't be allowed to leave Palace unless the Eagles receive an offer of more than £60million.

And King - speaking exclusively to Tottenham News - has raved about Eze's quality.

"He would improve Spurs without a doubt," King said.

"I like him, he is a good player. I have liked him ever since he was at QPR.

"He would improve the squad and provide competition for his international teammate James Maddison."

Eberechi Eze would be a statement signing for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham

If Spurs signed Eze, heads would turn in the Premier League.

This is the kind of signing which would make a statement and send out a message to the rest of the division.

Eze is the type of player who could take the club to the next level.

Although he won't be cheap, the 25-year-old has shown at Palace that he could be worth every penny.
