Fabio Paratici was spotted in the stands at Stamford Bridge during Crystal Palace’s clash with Chelsea, fuelling speculation over Tottenham’s push to sign Eberechi Eze.
While Tottenham Hotspur managed a rather comfortable 3-0 win against Burnley in their opening Premier League game, attention was still firmly on Sunday’s set of fixtures.
This is because of Spurs’ continued pursuit of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who was rumoured not to be a part of the Palace squad this afternoon, amid interest from Tottenham.
However, Eze did turn up in the starting eleven for Oliver Glasner’s side in their game against London rivals, Chelsea.

As reports of links between Tottenham and Eze continue to intensify, Fabio Paratici’s presence in the stands at Stamford Bridge has only led to more speculation.
Paratici remains a name that is often associated with Tottenham transfers, with the former Spurs sporting director frequently acting as a consultant for the club, and his presence in the Palace tie has left fans talking.

Spurs pursuit of Eberechi Eze remains ongoing
Spurs‘ pursuit of the Crystal Palace winger continues as club-to-club talks remain ongoing over a fee that would be deemed enough to strike a deal.
Eze has already agreed personal terms with Tottenham, leaving the north London club in a position where they have to agree on a fee with Palace before they can land their number ten target.
The transfer window still has a few weeks in it before it shuts this summer, leaving Tottenham with some time to work out terms with the Eagles.
