Tottenham are planning to hold talks with the agent of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze about a summer move, according to their former scout.
Mick Brown, who also worked as the chief scout at Man United and Blackburn and remains very well-connected at his former clubs, exclusively told Football Insider that the 26-year-old is seen as one of their top attacking targets.
However, Palace are reluctant to let their star man leave this summer and will not entertain offers below his £68million release clause.
Brown told Football Insider in February that Tottenham are eyeing a move for Eze this summer as he has been a long-term target for Ange Postecoglou.
The attacking midfielder is attracting a lot of interest this summer, with the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal and Man United also keeping tabs on his situation.
Meanwhile, Brown told Football Insider that Eze will turn down Man United in favour of waiting for a move to Liverpool or Arsenal as he wants to play at the very top level.

Tottenham plot move to sign Eberechi Eze after agent talks
Brown told Football Insider last month that Eze is open to a move to Tottenham, but is unlikely to force through a move as he is happy at Selhurst Park.
The former scout, who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted the England international’s agent is the driving force behind the move.
“Tottenham are one of the clubs looking at Eze,” he told Football Insider.
“I hear his agent has a few contacts there so I have no doubt they’ll be speaking to him, that’s where a lot of moves of this type start.
“He’s the type of player who would go in and immediately improve Tottenham’s team.
“His ability at the top level is unquestionable, he can do things nobody else on the pitch can.
“From what I hear, he’s happy at Palace so he’s not going to push for a move and Palace want to keep him, but he has got that release clause.
*“Spurs aren’t the only club interested so it might come down to who is willing to pay the fee.*“

Ange Postecoglou eyes Leroy Sane swoop after Arsenal update
Eze is not the only attacking player on Spurs’ radar this summer, as they are also keeping tabs on Leroy Sane’s situation at Bayern Munich.
Football Insider revealed on 28 May that Sane would be open to joining Tottenham as he eyes a return to the Premier League ahead of the upcoming window.
Sane has so far rejected Bayern’s attempts to extend his deal, and is currently fielding offers from elsewhere after deciding to switch agents in recent weeks.
This comes after Brown told Football Insider that Arsenal have rejected the change to sign Sane in favour of alternative targets, opening the door for a move elsewhere.
