There has been a huge transfer development surrounding Crystal Palace, which could hint that they expect Eberechi Eze to join Tottenham.
Despite heavy speculation linking the attacking midfielder with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, he featured in Palace’s 0-0 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
However, that may potentially be the England international’s final game in an Eagles shirt, as several sources are indicating that Spurs are confident of wrapping up a deal for Eze.
According to various reports, Eze has already agreed personal terms with Tottenham and has expressed a desire to move to N17, and now Palace have sent a big hint that they expect to lose their star man.
On Sunday, it emerged that Palace have identified Bilal El Khannouss as a possible replacement for Eze.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein has now reported that, apart from the Leicester star, Oliver Glasner’s men have also set their sights on Club Brugge attacking midfielder Christos Tzolis.
In fact, Ornstein claims that Palace have already had an opening offer rejected for the Greek international, and are now expected to return with an improved bid.
