Spurs Target Eze Could Overtake Chelsea Great As Most Expensive Nigeria-Eligible Midfielder In History
Published: December 31, 2019Queens Park Rangers young star Eberechi Eze could overtake Chelsea hero John Obi Mikel as the most expensive Nigeria-eligible midfielder in history, if the reports emanating from the British press are anything to go by.
According to Football League World making reference to The Athletic, Queens Park Rangers have set a 20 million pounds asking price for their attacking midfielder, with Tottenham Hotspur interested in his signature.
If the deal goes through at that fee, Eze will become the most expensive Nigerian midfielder of all time, surpassing the 16 million pounds Chelsea paid to Norwegian club Lyn Oslo to sign Mikel in 2006.
Having said that, the media outlet has reported that Spurs are unlikely to acquire Eze in the winter transfer market but could reignite their interest at the end of this season.
Touted as a natural heir to Mikel in the Super Eagles setup, the Queens Park Rangers number 10 has been involved in 13 goals (9 goals and 4 assists) from 25 appearances in the Championship this term.
Apart from a brief loan spell at Wycombe Wanderers during the 2017-2018 season, Eze has played nonstop at Queens Park Rangers since the summer of 2016, after he was released by Millwall.
