Olympiacos is all set to bid for forward Eder, who is also wanted by English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. There were reports that the north London club was keeping a close eye at the Braga striker for the last 6 months as their coach Andre Villas-Boas was looking forward to strengthen their forward line up.

Braga value Eder around £ 6.7 million. It would be interesting to see who gets Eder during the January transfer window.
