Postecoglou can only bring one £60m Premier League star to Tottenham
Ange Postecoglu is looking to add a new wide man to his Tottenham squad this summer but Spurs will be able to sign one of their targets as they continue to monitor the Premier League duo.
The North London side are short of options on the wings and it is an area the Premier League club would like to strengthen in order to take the pressure off the likes of Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are interested in Wolves’ Perdo Neto and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze ahead of the new season, but Spurs will only be able to sign one of the two.
The report claims that Premier League clubs are demanding around £50-60m for their biggest stars, meaning Tottenham will have to choose which one to pursue in the coming weeks.
Signing any wide player will be difficult for the London outfit as Crystal Palace will try to keep hold of Eze this summer after allowing Michael Olise to leave for Bayern Munich; while Wolves will not make it easy for one of their top rivals to sign their best player.
Which player should Tottenham sign?
If Tottenham can sign one of these players, Spurs’ best option would be Eze given his versatility and consistency he has shown in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old had a fantastic campaign last season as he produced 11 goals and four assists in 27 Premier League appearances, earning him a place in England’s Euro 2024 squad.
The Crystal Palace ace would also be a safer bet than Neto as the Portuguese star has a poor fitness record and tends to miss large parts of campaigns due to injury problems.
The Wolves winger is a top talent but if Tottenham are going to part with £60m for any player, Eze would be a better option.
