Local media reported that Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League will recruit resources to replace its “captain” Son Heung-min. The main character is Eberechi Eze, a winger with EPL Crystal Palace.
“Tottenham General Manager Johan Lange considers one of coach Enze Postecoglou’s main targets to be Son Heung-min’s replacement,” the British substitute The Bootroom said on the 21st (Korea time), adding, “Lange wants to recruit an ‘unstoppable’ player as Son Heung-min’s replacement.”
The media pointed out, “Tottenham is not done with its victory in three pre-season games. We plan to recruit several players within a few weeks, and one of them is mentioned as a substitute for Son Heung-min.”
Eze has been named. Eze is one of the hottest sellers in the summer transfer market. BBC Sport pundit Pat Nevin has already dubbed him an “unstoppable” player. Media outlets have reported that Eze is “one of the most exciting players in the EPL, and many clubs are interested in him.”
Tottenham is one of the clubs known to have participated in the race to recruit Eze early on. Earlier, the media also reported that Tottenham had contacted Palace to recruit Eze.
One of the reasons Eze is considered as a substitute for Son is his age. Citing Transfers’ reports on the transfer market, the media said, “He is Tottenham’s best player and an irreplaceable resource. However, he is already 32 years old. This is why Tottenham is seeking to recruit Eze.”
The media predicted that Tottenham would extend Son Heung-min’s contract by invoking club options, but predicted, “We have to sign Eze. I think Eze will show great performance in the same team as Son Heung-min.”
Last season, Eze spent his career high season with Palace, scoring 11 goals and six assists in 31 official matches. Despite irregular playing hours due to muscle injury, he surpassed his performance in the 2022-23 season (10 goals and four assists). Former England manager Gareth Southgate also appointed Eze to the national team. Eze also played in the UEFA European Championship, where he was a substitute. He stayed on the bench in the semifinals and the final.메이저놀이터
