Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is pushing to join Tottenham before the end of the summer transfer window, Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri has reported.
The 'superstar' England international is believed to have already agreed personal terms over a move to North London and is expected to be left out of Oliver Glasner’s squad to face Chelsea on Sunday.
Palace are preparing for Eze’s departure and are understood to already be in talks to sign his replacement, with the 27-year-old attacking midfielder now aiming to end his five-year Selhurst Park spell.
Tottenham are firm favourites to land Eze before the deadline, as GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Fabrizio Romano previously revealed, with talks also ongoing for Manchester City winger Savinho’s arrival.
Tottenham Agree Personal Terms with Eze
Tavolieri, writing on X, revealed that Eze has agreed personal terms to join Tottenham and is ‘pushing’ to depart Palace in the coming weeks:
Eze, who joined Palace from QPR in 2020, has been a key player for the Eagles over the past several seasons, making 168 appearances, scoring 40 goals and providing 28 assists.
The 27-year-old helped Palace lift their first major trophy with FA Cup success at Wembley last season and featured in their Community Shield victory over Liverpool last weekend.
He has less than two years remaining on his Selhurst Park contract, which runs until June 2027, and is one of the club’s highest earners, taking home £100,000 per week.
Tottenham are on the lookout for late attacking reinforcements following former captain Son Heung-min’s move to MLS side Los Angeles FC and injuries to Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.
While Kulusevski has yet to return after suffering a serious knee injury in May, Maddison sustained an ACL setback in a pre-season friendly earlier this month and could miss the entire 2024/25 campaign.
