Tottenham sources reveal how confident they are about Eberechi Eze and Savinho
Journalist Graeme Bailey has offered fresh insight into the atmosphere at Tottenham Hotspur as the club’s pursuit of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze continues to gather momentum. The North London side have stepped up their interest in the attacking midfielder, and speculation around a possible transfer to N17 has intensified over the past 24 hours.
For many Spurs supporters, social media timelines have become the first port of call as they anxiously await updates on Eze’s future. The 26-year-old playmaker has long been admired for his creativity, flair, and ability to unlock stubborn defences—qualities Tottenham are eager to add to their squad under new head coach Thomas Frank.
Reports suggest that talks are progressing steadily between Spurs and Palace, with the move now appearing more likely than ever. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on Saturday that Eze has already agreed personal terms with Tottenham and has made it known to his current club that he wishes to make the switch to North London before the transfer window closes.
Tottenham’s stance on the deal
Graeme Bailey explained that Palace manager Oliver Glasner and the Selhurst Park hierarchy were originally more inclined to sanction the sale of centre-back Marc Guehi while keeping hold of Eze, especially after the expiration of the latter’s release clause earlier in the summer. However, the situation has now flipped. Guehi looks increasingly likely to remain at Palace, while Eze edges closer to the exit door.
Bailey told TBR Football:
“Talks are ongoing – Palace in an ideal world would like to sell Marc Guehi and keep Eberechi Eze now his release clause has expired, but that does not appear to be happening. In fact, the opposite seems to be the case, with Guehi staying and Eze pushing to leave. We understand that Eze has made it clear to Palace that he would like to join Spurs, and his focus is firmly on making that switch happen before deadline day. Speaking to Spurs sources – there is confidence that the deal will get done. In terms of Savinho, maybe less so, but discussions are still taking place there as well.”
Frank and Cochrane driving the pursuit
Behind the scenes, Tottenham’s chase for Eze is being strongly pushed by head coach Thomas Frank and assistant coach Justin Cochrane. The latter has an existing bond with the Palace midfielder, having previously worked with him during his time with the England youth setup. That close relationship has reportedly played a role in Eze feeling comfortable about the idea of joining Spurs.
Journalist Ben Jacobs also revealed recently that both Frank and Cochrane are the key figures pressing for Eze’s arrival. The pair believe that his creativity and versatility in the final third could prove crucial as Spurs look to usher in a new era following a turbulent summer.
Spurs fans waiting for Levy to deliver
For Tottenham supporters, the excitement is palpable. Many see Eze as a marquee signing who could instantly elevate their attacking threat. The fact that the player himself is believed to be eager on the move has only fuelled optimism that Daniel Levy and the Spurs hierarchy will push the deal over the line in the coming days.
With less than two weeks left in the window, all eyes remain firmly on negotiations between Tottenham and Crystal Palace. If completed, the signing of Eze would not only mark a major coup for Thomas Frank in his first summer at the club but also send a statement of intent that Spurs mean business as they prepare for the new campaign.
