Tottenham are planning to hold talks with the agent of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze about a summer move, according to their former scout.
Mick Brown, who also worked as the chief scout at Man United and Blackburn and remains very well-connected at his former clubs, exclusively told Football Flame that the 26-year-old is seen as one of their top attacking targets.
However, Palace are reluctant to let their star man leave this summer and will not entertain offers below his £68million release clause.
Brown told Football Flame in February that Tottenham are eyeing a move for Eze this summer as he has been a long-term target for Ange Postecoglou.
The attacking midfielder is attracting a lot of interest this summer, with the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal and Man United also keeping tabs on his situation.
Meanwhile, Brown told Football Flame that Eze will turn down Man United in favour of waiting for a move to Liverpool or Arsenal as he wants to play at the very top level.
Brown told Football Flame last month that Eze is open to a move to Tottenham, but is unlikely to force through a move as he is happy at Selhurst Park.
The former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted the England international’s agent is the driving force behind the move.
“Tottenham are one of the clubs looking at Eze,” he told Football Flame.
