Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze is amid a high-profile transfer saga involving Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and other top Premier League clubs. Despite reports suggesting he would be rested, Eze was named in Palace's starting lineup against Chelsea, indicating the deal is not yet finalized. The 27-year-old England international's contract initially included a £60 million release clause with an additional £8 million in add-ons, but this clause has now expired. Tottenham are reportedly negotiating a fee slightly below that figure in hopes of securing a deal.
Both Eze and fellow Palace target Marc Guehi are playing under Oliver Glasner’s management as Palace continue to face London rivals, while transfer talks remain active. According to journalist David Ornstein, Tottenham’s pursuit of Eze is ongoing and Palace are working on potential replacements for the attacking midfielder. Eze himself has agreed personal terms and is keen to complete the move.
The transfer negotiations are somewhat complex, as Tottenham hope Eze remains fit through the Chelsea game, since his participation signals no immediate transfer. Meanwhile, Liverpool are also interested but reportedly are not willing to pay a premium over the initial valuation. Tottenham's approach seems to be favored given Eze's preference and the ongoing discussions.
In addition to the Eze situation, there are related transfer stories involving clubs like Leeds, who are urged to move quickly for high-wage players, and Tottenham navigating bids for other "problem" players in their squad.
Overall, Eze’s potential move to Tottenham is a key talking point in this summer’s transfer window, highlighting Crystal Palace’s balancing act between maintaining squad strength and accommodating the ambitions of a star player eager to move on.
