Tottenham ‘can sign off on James Maddison exit’ after latest transfer news
Tottenham have already drawn up a list of potential summer transfer targets, and the latest update on could spell the beginning of the end for James Maddison.
As of right now, Tottenham will be focused on achieving success via the Europa League before any considerations are made on the recruitment front.
Only once their fate is sealed will they have a clear idea as to what business can or needs to be done in the summer to rectify the concerns that emerged in North London this season.
However, Tottenham will still have half an eye on potential deals for the summer, and one of the decisions that will be made could concern Maddison.
Tottenham may pursue Ebe Eze deal this summer
Tottenham are in line for a huge summer window, regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season, and signings like that of Eberechi Eze would go a long way towards addressing the concerns that have cast a dark shadow over North London.
Very rarely have Spurs recruited players capable of improving the team immediately, but Eze certainly would, and according to Give Me Sport, the Englishman will have a £60m release clause become active in the summer.

Of course, under Daniel Levy, Spurs have typically shied away from such big transfer fees, but this one would just make sense given the knowledge he has of the Premier League and the ability he has showcased on a consistent basis.
It would be an excellent deal for Tottenham, though it would also be one that could allow them to sanction an exit for Maddison, who has been mooted for a shock return to Leicester City.
Ange Postecoglou needs to deliver Europa League success
Ange Postecoglou will undoubtedly be sacked if Spurs fail to win the Europa League, though their concerns will stretch far beyond that matter.
If European qualification isn’t achieved, it will have an effect on the finances at Tottenham, but also impact the calibre of players they are able to attract this summer.
Eze looks likely to leave Crystal Palace, but any move to Tottenham will hinge on whether or not they can meet that criteria.
