If it gets done, hard to remember a more exciting recent Spurs signing than Eze. Bale in 2020 had the emotional heft, but signing a player this good, this thrilling, this peak age…
Van der Vaart, Klinsmann??

Prem proven, dynamic, powerful and full of quality. Eze is the type of signing that immediately improves our team and makes a real statement. He’d become the main man here. 🤞 COYS pic.twitter.com/1RxlyCkbf8
