Chris Waddle says England star is a better fit for Tottenham than Newcastle

Wait 5 sec.

With Newcastle also in the conversation to sign Eberechi Eze, ex-Tottenham winger Chris Waddle has made his thoughts very clear on where the Crystal Palace man would fit best.Once again, in yet another transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be ‘monitoring’ Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.The Palace man, who has two years left on his current deal at Selhurst Park, is said to have a £68 million release clause that is set to become active in this summer’s window.With the likelihood of Eze leaving the South Coast on a free in 2027, should he not extend his contract with Palace or seal a big move this summer, this transfer window is a crucial one for all parties involved.Photo by Molly Darlington – The FA/The FA via Getty ImagesChris Waddle believes Eberechi Eze suits Tottenham more than NewcastleSpurs fans have begged Daniel Levy to get the Eze deal done, after it emerged that Tottenham could pay Eze’s release clause in instalments over three years.It has also been claimed that Tottenham are not the only side monitoring the 26-year-old, as other clubs remain interested.Chris Waddle, a former Tottenham man speaking to OLBG, has now labelled Eze a top player and a better fit for Spurs rather than Newcastle.According to the former England international, Eze is in the top three of technical players in the Premier League, and he is one who could light up the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium under Thomas Frank.He said: “Eberechi Eze is a top player. I remember watching him at QPR. He had a lot of talent then, but did not seem to be able to put the consistency with it. I think with Crystal Palace, he has found his place.“In his number 10 role, he has got the position he wants. He has got the freedom to express himself. He has got the responsibility, which he has taken on board.“You have got to say he is one of the best footballers in the Premier League at the minute. Technically in the top three and he is playing the top of his game.“I could see him playing at Spurs. I think Spurs could fit him there. I think Newcastle already have their midfield three and three good wingers, I think Newcastle’s priority probably will be a number nine back-up to Alexander Isak, rather than Eze.“I think Eze is a great player and I would love to see him at Spurs under Thomas Frank. I think Spurs missed out on Matheus Cunha, who would have been a fantastic signing, but Eze can come in and take responsibility and stamp authority on the club.“He will go in with a lot of confidence and be a hit, I think he would be a better fit at Spurs than he would at Newcastle.”Eberechi Eze open to Spurs move as Thomas Frank eyes marquee signingIt has since been revealed that Eze is open to a move to Tottenham this summer, as he is keen to play Champions League football.It is also claimed that the Palace man is looking to spearhead the Thomas Frank rebuild at Spurs, which, of course, serves as a boost to Tottenham, who are reported to be eyeing a marquee signing.Spurs are set to miss out on Bryan Mbeumo, and neither are Tottenham eager to meet Bournemouth’s valuation of Antoine Semenyo.With Frank having greenlit a move for Eze this summer, it remains to be seen if the higher-ups at Spurs make any offers, as reports suggest he is still being admired, but no offers have been put in since.READ MORE: Why Johan Lange feels Kota Takai is already prepared for Tottenham step-upThe post Chris Waddle says England star is a better fit for Tottenham than Newcastle appeared first on Spurs Web.
