Tottenham Plot £101m Premier League Double Raid as Chelsea Reignite Striker Hunt

We begin Friday’s Premier League transfer rumor roundup with an update from Stamford Bridge. According to L’Equipe, Chelsea have renewed their interest in Lens striker Elye Wahi but have yet to make a formal offer for the 21-year-old.

The French outlet reports that the Blues have ‘come forward again in recent days’ to inquire about Wahi’s availability. Previously linked with him in past transfer windows, Chelsea sees Wahi as a potential candidate to leave Lens this summer. However, it is unclear whether the Ligue 1 side will agree to sell him.

The 3AM Verdict: Wahi boasts boundless potential, but whether he is the right player for Chelsea right now is debatable. Despite scoring 12 goals in 37 outings last season, he has been involved in off-field controversies. Perhaps Chelsea should avoid this deal.

Spurs Eye Double Deal

Elsewhere, Tottenham are eyeing a double deal for Wolves star Pedro Neto and Crystal Palace talisman Eberechi Eze. Both players have been linked with big-money exits this summer, attracting attention from several Premier League clubs. According to Caught Offside, Spurs are still interested in signing both players.

A combined swoop for Neto and Eze will not be cheap, with estimates around £101 million. If Tottenham fails in their pursuit, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea are ‘waiting in the wings and following developments,’ though none have made a formal approach yet.

The 3AM Verdict: This would be a huge statement of intent from Spurs, and the kind of business they need to establish themselves as title contenders. Both Neto and Eze would bring significant quality to their frontline. If a double deal is concluded, Ange Postecoglou’s side would be the envy of the Premier League.
