Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy has a “long-standing relationship” that helps the Spurs seal off the famous deal for Crystal Palace star Ebeki Eze.
If Spurs boss Thomas Frank oversees his first Premier League match to take charge of the club on Saturday afternoon, he will draw attention to the summer transfer market, and if the North Londoner can bolster before the September 1 deadline.
Lev and Frank now have two targets at the top of their agenda, as widely reported – Eze and Mann City winger Savinho.
As Tottenham has begun consultations to sign both Ez and Savinho’s separate deal (Fabrizio Romano), it’s not the case for either of them as his son Hen Min appears to fill in the big blank left by his son’s departure, left in the blow of MLS and James Madison’s long-term injury.
According to some reports, City has already rejected a £42 million bid from Tottenham for Savinho, so there’s still work to do on that front. Pep Guardiola is not very keen to leave Eastland, who was 21 years old, in the second half of the window.
“I don’t know. If that’s the case or another club Tottenham, if the club wants a player, they should call the club like we do,” Guardiola said at a press conference before the clash with the wolves.
“I’m worried now that Savigno will be with us for the rest of the season.
In Eze’s case, things actually look much more positive.
Tottenham wants to pay the 27-year-old about £55 million. This is a similar fee to its contract with Mohammed Kudus, with the palace demanding the value of the previous £68 million release clause that expired on Friday (Ben Jacobs).
However, Arsenal was hesitant to move England International, which provided the Spurs a window into the opportunity to sneak in for Eze and sign a contract. According to Talksport, the player’s agents have also made the Frank side inform that personal terms are not an issue.
Plus, reliable soccer. London journalist Alasdair Gold lifted the lid onto a secret weapon at Levy’s disposal.
The Connection to Help Daniel Levy’s “Long-Term” Connection Sign Tottenham
Gold writes in the detailed forwarding work and reports that the CAA base, representative of Eze, may be important.
Levy boasts a “long-age” productive relationship with a “strong” presence within Tottenham.
In light of this and other developments, Gold says Tottenham will try to offer Frank a quality double boost to close out Eze and Savinho’s deals in the coming days.
The previous QPR star is probably best suited to the Spurs.
Eze was able to play both in his son’s previous position on the left as No. 10, earning 14 goals and 11 assists as key offensive assets under Oliver Glasner last season.
Given that Tottenham was once ready to throw £60 million at Morgan Gibbs White early in the summer, Levi would be wise to reinvest that money to win Eze’s signature — if he was serious about challenging the greater honor.
