Tottenham Hotspur have cooled off their interest in Arsenal target Eberechi Eze after James Maddison injury blow.
Spurs build boldly despite Maddison setback
Tottenham’s summer has been nothing short of explosive. After a strong end to last season, the club is pushing hard in the transfer market.
The Spurs won the Europa League final against Manchester United and book a UCL spot as well. Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou is out, and Thomas Frank brought in. Daniel Levy is backing his new man with serious intent. The club have already brought in big names like Kevin Danso, Mathys Tel, Mohamed Kudus, and Joao Palhinha.
With Heung-min Son heading to LAFC, they’re now chasing **Real Madrid**’s Rodrygo to fill that attacking gap. Things took a very worrying turn in preseason when star playmaker James Maddison suffered a knee injury against Newcastle. That has forced them to rethink their plans and go looking for cover in the midfield.

Eze interest cools as Tottenham shift focus
In their search for a Maddison’s alternative, Spurs considered Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze. Eze is also on **Arsenal**’s radar. He was a standout in Palace’s FA Cup-winning campaign and has been pushing for a move this summer.
However, with a hefty £68m release clause, even the Gunners have had to take a pause. Now, Tottenham have reportedly decided not to pursue Eze either. New head coach Thomas Frank has ruled out a move. That is likely due to the price and the need to prioritize other roles in the squad.
While Eze is undoubtedly talented, Spurs are focusing on more cost-effective and tactical fits for Frank’s system. With their UCL return and a trophy already in the bag, the club is looking for smart signings rather than quick fixes. For now, the Palace star is off the table, and Tottenham will keep their eyes open for other creative options.
