Reported Tottenham Hotspur target Eberechi Eze has been named in a five-man shortlist of Championship players ready to play for England at Euro 2021, compiled by The Sun pundit Danny Higginbotham.

The Queens Park Rangers winger has developed into an outstanding player over the past few years and this season has claimed an impressive 12 goals and eight assists in 37 Championship games.

Tottenham are said to have been tracking Eze for some time and are increasingly interested in making a move, with Spurs scout Brian Carey present to see Eze star in QPR’s 3-1 win over Preston, according to The Sun.

QPR director Les Ferdinand told Sky Sports News on Wednesday that “people are going to start talking about him playing for England” and his prediction came true just two days later, with Higginbotham naming Eze in his list.

“At just 21 years of age, he can play in a number 10 role or on the left – and has done brilliantly this season with the second most goals and assists for QPR,” the former Manchester United man wrote in The Sun.

“You would not want him one on one. He has that knack of gliding past players with ease. He has so many assists because he attracts so much attention which creates space for his teammates.

“Eze’s very talented and believes in his own ability. No wonder Tottenham are linked with him.”

QPR are reportedly starting bids for Eze at £20million, according to The Sun.

Eze has clearly shown that he is a cut above with his exhilarating displays for QPR and impressive goal and assist tally, and all at the age of just 21.

With QPR facing a battle to make it into the Championship playoffs once the season resumes and Eze’s contract only taking him to 2021, the opportunity for Spurs to pounce on a truly sensational prospect is there.
