Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze has expressed his desire to join Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur, after being heavily linked with a move to Arsenal.
The 27-year-old, who scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists last season, including the FA Cup final winner against Manchester City, is eager to play Champions League football under Tottenham’s Thomas Frank.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, posting on X:
Eberechi Eze informed Crystal Palace earlier this week about his desire to join Tottenham.
Talks are progressing as Eze already said yes to Spurs project, ready to make his move this month. Nothing done yet, but Eze hopes for #THFC move ASAP.”
With James Maddison sidelined by an ACL injury, Tottenham see Eze as a key addition, having agreed personal terms.
However, his £68m release clause has expired, and Palace are holding firm, eyeing Leicester’s Bilal El Khannouss as a replacement.
Arsenal, long-term admirers, may need to act swiftly to counter Spurs’ lead, but their hesitation could see Eze join their rivals, intensifying the North London transfer battle.
