Early seasons gone by, Ange Postecoglou had a pretty good season with Tottenham Hotspur this year, helping them qualify for the Europa League and fifth place in the Premier League
The Australian had to do without Harry Kane and brought a number of summer signings such as Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven and James Maddison into the squad
Most of the club’s new signings have adapted well to life in N17, although the Englishman had a lackluster second half – with just five goals in 17 games – which recent reports suggest shows that he may pay a heavy price
Tottenham Hotspur Transfer News According to a recent report from GIVEMESPORT, Spurs are keen to take Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze north this summer and are ready to compete with Chelsea to achieve it
The report reveals that while a move to either London club is possible, the Eagles will not allow him to leave unless offers of £60m or more are made
To further complicate matters for the Lilywhites, the report also claims that Manchester City are now deciding whether they want to be in the race, although they will sit behind both London clubs in the standings current rank
This would be a difficult transfer to pull off, but Eze is a player worth fighting for, even if it puts Maddison’s position in jeopardy
How Eze compares to Maddison Now, if Spurs have their way and convince “handsome” Eze, as former manager Paul Hall described him, that they are the project The most attractive today – that shouldn’t be too much of a case
difficult, in all aspects – Maddison will be the player most at risk of losing his place in the starting lineup
That’s mainly because Palace’s ace has started 17 of his 31 appearances as an attacking midfielder this season
The former Queens Park Rangers star’s performance of 11 goals and 6 assists in 31 matches is much better than the former Foxes player’s 4 goals and 9 assists in 30 matches, but the advantage is even greater
It’s even more significant when we look at what’s going on
is happening under the hood
For example, looking at the underlying numbers of this pair, the Eagles’ “amazing” ace, as talent scout Jacek Kulig calls him, produces goals and assists Expected no penalties higher than high carries, more progress, more shots and shots on target, clearances, tackles and interceptions, more ball recoveries and carries more positions – and that’s just scratching the surface, it all adds up to 90
more assists, but that’s it
Plus, you can generally hold the Greenwich-born player’s injury record ahead of him over another, but Maddison has missed 46 games since the start of the 2020/21 season, while His potential replacement missed out on 31
The transfer is expensive and difficult to make, but if Levy wants Postecoglou to thrive in north London, giving him a player like Eze is a great way to go
Tottenham makes shock decision on James Maddison future that nobody saw,it may end in tears
