Bircham has claimed that the English midfielder can dribble past opponents from his early days, which makes him better than Sterling. Eze is also known for his pace and ball control in the midfield, and he has also been the key midfielder to control games for the Eagles. Eze,26 is currently in his prime form and it is the best time for the Spurs to bag the midfielder.
Premier League rivals Manchester City are also vying for the midfielder in the summer, anyway, Spurs are gearing up for the deal by triggering the £60m and they could complete the deal before the Champions enter.
