Eberechi Eze is one step away from signing for Tottenham. Eberechi Eze is about to take a significant step in his career. The midfielder from Crystal Palace has agreed personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur since the beginning of the week, as confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Should Eze depart Palace, the Eagles will pocket a significant profit on a player they signed from Queens Park Rangers for around £17 million in 2020. He’s since gone on to make 167 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 40 goals, becoming a talismanic figure after the departure of Wilfried Zaha to Galatasaray in 2023.

Crystal Palace manager, Oliver Glasner, has confirmed that Eberechi Eze's release clause has expired. Glasner was speaking to reporters after their 0-0

Eberechi Eze is set to start for Crystal Palace against Chelsea, despite suggestions he would be dropped ahead of a potential move to Tottenham.

Referee England overturned his on-field decision, but explained that the free-kick was ruled out because Guéhi, after successfully shifting Caicedo, had moved to within a metre of the Chelsea wall, which is an infringement in itself. The goal wasn’t ruled out because of the Palace captain’s contact with the Ecuadorian.

According to reports, Thomas Frank has ‘approved’ Tottenham Hotspur’s ‘priority’ signing after Eberechi Eze as they have ‘launched a £70m bid’. Spurs have been active in this summer’s transfer window as the ninth-biggest spending club in Europe. They have invested around £120m on signings, notably Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel and Joao Pahlinha.
