Tottenham Hotspur are accelerating talks with Crystal Palace to sign winger Eberechi Eze, with a potential deal worth slightly below his expired £68 million release clause.
Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up its pursuit of Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze, with talks between the two clubs expected to progress significantly in the next 48 hours. The development comes after Eze reportedly informed Crystal Palace of his desire to join Tottenham, sparking discussions about a potential transfer.
According to sources, Eze has agreed to personal terms with Tottenham, paving the way for a move to the North London club. The deal is expected to be worth slightly below Eze’s expired release clause of £68 million, which included an initial £60 million plus £8 million in add-ons. Tottenham’s interest in Eze has been well-documented, and the club is reportedly confident about securing his signature.
Eze’s potential departure from Crystal Palace would mark a significant loss for the Eagles, who had hoped to build their squad around him and fellow playmaker Michael Olise. However, with Olise already joining Bayern Munich, Eze’s exit would be a bitter blow for the club.
Despite this, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has decided to include the winger in the squad for today’s match against Chelsea.
The potential signing of Eze would be a significant coup for Tottenham, strengthening their attacking lineup and bolstering their chances of finishing in the top four. With James Maddison set to miss the majority of the season due to an ACL injury, Eze’s arrival would provide a much-needed boost to the team’s creative department.
