Ebere Eze has been the star of the season so far for Queens Park Rangers and amidst Premier League speculation, we take a look at the potential paths that the 21-year-old could take.

QPR currently sit 4th in the Championship, three points off of leaders West Brom in what’s been a fantastic start to life under Mark Warburton.

The former Brentford boss oversaw a mass overhaul of his team in the summer – 14 in and 17 out. But his new-look side have taken no time to adapt, and look like serious contenders for the top-six.

Their star man so far has been Ebere Eze. He’s already on six goals for the season, surpassing his record of four last year and has three assists to his name.

He’s been the centre of transfer rumours of late, with both Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur chasing the winger. But which outcome will he take, if he takes either? We have a look…

Stay at QPR

With everyone debating who Eze will join next, it’s easy to forget that he may choose to stay at QPR.

The club would likely need Premier League football next season to keep hold of Eze, but with the way he’s performing under Warburton, he may well want to stay in West London and keep his progression on the up.

It’s probably the most unlikely of three options, but QPR fans and Warburton would love to see Eze stay, and fulfil his potential at the club who gave him a chance after being released by Millwall aged 18.

Southampton

The less attractive of the two Premier League options for Eze, but it could prove to be the better one.

Southampton are struggling in the Premier League and their manager Ralph Hassenhuttl is a man under pressure.

Will QPR keep hold of Ebere Eze this season?

Yes Vote No Vote

Game-time would undoubtedly be easier to come by at Southampton than Spurs, and Eze could see that as the decisive factor in his decision.

Some good, young British players have emerged from Southampton in the past, Gareth Bale, Luke Shaw, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Ward-Prowse more recently, and Eze might see their ability to nurture young players as another pull factor

Tottenham Hotspur

When Tottenham come calling, there’s few that can turn it down.

The chance to work with Mauricio Pochettino, Harry Kane, Dele Alli and co in their magnificent new home is tempting, and Eze could well be interested enough to make the move from West to North London this season.

Game-time will obviously be an issue for Eze should he make the move – Heung Min Son, Lucas Moura, Christian Eriksen would be well ahead of Eze in the pecking order.

But to work with these players, to watch them play and train; this could be the factor that turns Eze from an exciting young player into a great one.

If Spurs continue their pursuit of Eze, expect to see him jump at the chance.
