A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have been giving their thoughts on the news that reported Spurs target Eberechi Eze has joined a Premier League rival.

Tottenham were said to have been tracking Eze for some time, with Spurs scout Brian Carey present to see the 22-year-old star in QPR’s 3-1 win at Preston in March, according to The Sun.

More recently, the Daily Mail reported in June that Jose Mourinho was “thought to be an admirer” of the player and that Tottenham’s interest remained going into the summer.

However, Crystal Palace have won the race for Eze, announcing his arrival on Friday on a five-year deal for a fee reported to have cost an initial £16.5million which could rise to £19.5million.

Aston Villa, Fulham, Leeds United, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham were also said to be interested in the attacker, added The Guardian.

Some Tottenham fans feel that the club has made an error in not snapping Eze up:

Eze enjoyed an impressive 2019-20 season for Queens Park Rangers, during which he claimed 14 goals and eight assists in 46 Championship games.

“There are no limits for Eze,” QPR boss Mark Warburton told QPR TV last December. “It is down to him and how hard he works.

“Ebe is a tremendous talent. I want him to enjoy his football and he has got to understand how much hard work is required to maximise the talent that he has.”
