Spurs have known for weeks that they would be without James Maddison for most of this season due to an ACL tear. They have spent days locked in a room with Crystal Palace’s representatives, bickering over add-ons and semantics.
The kindest interpretation is that Palace were desperate to keep hold of Eze until Thursday’s Conference League tie with Fredrikstad at Selhurst Park – in that light, perhaps there was nothing more Daniel Levy could have done to get the deal over the line before then?
It is a devastating blow to Levy and Frank (Photo: PA)Eze was released by Arsenal as a 13-year-old. He has spoken of the days spent in tears after receiving the news, and a career spent trying desperately to prove a point to the club that let him go.
It should never have been allowed to get to that stage. Eze had a choice because of Tottenham’s dithering. It is yet another lesson in decisiveness and what happens in a cutthroat market if clubs are not willing to move fast.
They have known all summer that they needed more firepower. Why could they not compete for Bryan Mbeumo, who preferred a move to a Manchester United side that can’t even offer European football? Where were they when Everton were signing a risk-free Jack Grealish on loan, with Manchester City shouldering a good portion of his wages?

Nobody seriously believes Tottenham should be making transfer decisions based on what Arsenal might or might not do, but it was never beyond the realms of possibility that this was exactly how it would transpire.
There is now huge pressure on Levy to get a deal with Manchester City for Savinho – or a respectable alternative – done. If they manage that, it will not have been a disastrous window, with Mohammed Kudus’ addition the highlight.
That is ultimately what matters, rather than the optics of how bad this looks. But make no mistake – the Eze saga has a sickening feel that threatens to turn Tottenham’s summer into a laughing stock.
