Tottenham Hotspur have not exactly made the best of starts to their 2024/25 campaign in the Premier League.
Although only three games have been played so far, Tottenham already look as if they still have a lot of work to do to be where they aspire to be.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side looked incredibly sharp against Everton in their only home game of the season but the Lilywhites proved incredibly wasteful against Leicester City and Newcastle united.
Question marks remain over the business done in the transfer market with Tottenham having only actually seen three new faces land for the start of the season.
Spurs spent big on Dominic Solanke but there may be doubts as to whether Wilson Odobert and Archie Gray were enough to otherwise bolster the squad.
But it seems as if interest in one of their summer targets remains after the north Londoners failed to acquire him.
Tottenham still interested in £60m playmaker
The recent form of James Maddison may be concerning some at Tottenham after he has failed to rediscover his best form since picking up the injury last season.
Even Roy Keane was left criticising Maddison following his display for Tottenham against Newcastle on Sunday.
And it seems as if Spurs may well have their eye on a potential upgrade for the former England international.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are one of the sides to appreciate Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze after this summer’s window.
The England international was subject to interest from Spurs but no official move materialised with Palace pointing clubs towards his £60m release clause.
“No club did trigger the release clause and there were no concrete contacts so in the end, that was the reason he remained at Selhurst Park,” said Romano in his Daily Briefing.
“Man City for sure had him on their list in 2023, and it’s true that Tottenham appreciate him, but there was never any formal bid presented from either club or any other this summer.”
Eberechi Eze is already impressing this season
Despite seeing his partner in crime leave this summer in Michael Olise, the ‘superstar‘ Eze has already made a bright start to the new campaign.
The Englishman got on the scoresheet over the weekend with a fine effort against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Eze has already registered the second-highest number of shots (15) of any player in the league which shows just how active in front of goal he has been.
In comparison, Maddison has only recorded six shots and has failed to find the back of the net in that time.
Much to Tottenham’s delight, Crystal Palace are now said to potentially be open to negotiating on the price for Eze next summer.
