Oliver Glasner has now handed Tottenham a blow by revealing what he expects Eberechi Eze to do at Crystal Palace this week.

Over the last few days, an increasing number of reports have claimed that Tottenham had agreed personal terms with Eze and were pushing forward with negotiations over Crystal Palace.

Some outlets even suggested that Eze may not feature for Palace against Chelsea as he is close to completing a switch to N17.

However, the attacking midfielder did start at Stamford Bridge and played 84 minutes as the Eagles held the Blues to a 0-0 draw.

Oliver Glasner expects Eze to play again on Thursday

Spurs fans would have been hoping to see Eze in a Palace shirt for the last time, and that the player would complete a move to N17 over the coming days.

However, Glasner has now made it clear that he expects the Tottenham target to be involved in his side’s UEFA Conference League opener against Fredrikstad on Thursday.

Speaking after his side’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea, the Austrian manager told Sky Sports (17/08/25): “Ebs should have scored a goal today, he had one and it was disallowed.

“He will come tomorrow to the Crystal Palace training ground, Tuesday off, we take Wednesday, and I expect him to be back playing for us against Fredrikstad.”

Tottenham remain confident of landing Eberechi Eze

Despite Glasner’s assertion, it has been reported over recent hours that sources at Spurs remain confident of completing a deal for Eze.

It has been alleged that Arsenal are not pursuing a deal for Eze any longer as they are prioritising landing a left-winger over a number 10.

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.

Are Palace waiting until they sign a replacement for Eze?

Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that many sources have reported over the last 24 hours that Eze is now close to completing a move to Tottenham.

That is why many were left surprised that he featured against Chelsea, but Palace’s transfer moves perhaps send a hint at what the hold up is.

The South London club may want to bring a replacement through the door before officially accepting Tottenham’s offer for their star man.

Tottenham Hotspur have received an update on their pursuit of Savinho as Manchester City make their stance clear, and the news should delight Spurs supporters.

Tottenham Hotspur have undergone many twists and turns this summer, but business is far from over. Spurs sources are confident Tottenham will complete the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.

The England international is not the only attacker linked with a move to Spurs. Manchester City winger Savinho is tempted by the prospect of a move to Tottenham and the North London outfit have already made efforts to bring him to the club.

Manchester City have rejected two of Tottenham’s offers for Savinho. The first was £43m, and while the second was significantly higher at £60m, it was not enough to convince Savinho’s current employers to let him depart.

Manchester City tell Pep they should sell Savinho to Tottenham

Despite their lack of success up to this point, Tottenham are reportedly now in a strong position to sign the Brazilian. TBR Football report that the hierarchy at Manchester City have told Pep Guardiola that the club should cash in on Savinho.

A large offer will still be required, but Manchester City’s stance on the 21-year-old is no longer as strong. Also, the player himself wants to join Tottenham in order to get more minutes in the run-up to the World Cup next summer.

However, Man City are unlikely to sell Savinho before their clash with Tottenham next weekend. On top of this, he is expected to be sidelined until the end of August due to an injury.

Would Savinho be a good addition to the Spurs first-team squad?

Savinho has only played one full season in the Premier League and there was one area where he was found lacking. He only scored once in the league, yet missed six big chances. However, his creativity was impressive, as he registered eight assists in 29 appearances, with 21 of these being starts.

Stats do not tell the whole story anyway. Just look at Mohammed Kudus, a player who tallied five goals and three assists last season. However, he already has two assists in the league for Tottenham after just one match.

Savinho is a talented young player, and if Tottenham can secure both him and Eberechi Eze, Thomas Frank is going to have quite the attacking force at his disposal.

Tottenham Hotspur have moved to secure the future of one of their most improved players, with Djed Spence putting pen to paper on fresh terms that underline his growing importance at the club.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 campaign was a season of numerous highs and lows, although it ultimately ended on a high as they lifted the Europa League trophy.

While Tottenham’s domestic form proved inconsistent, several players still emerged as bright sparks in an otherwise mixed campaign. Djed Spence, once outcast, was among them.

The versatile full-back, capable of operating on both flanks, forced his way back into Ange Postecoglou’s plans with a series of standout performances, stepping up impressively after Destiny Udogie’s injury.

Tottenham extend Djed Spence’s contract until 2029

Tottenham Hotspur rewarded Spence for his determined displays last season with a contract that was initially set to keep him at the club until 2028.

Less than a year later, Spurs have once again extended the 25-year-old’s stay, with a new deal now set to keep Djed Spence at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2029.

The agreement also includes the option of a further year, reflecting how highly the club value the full-back’s impact since establishing himself in the first-team squad.

A club statement read: “We are delighted to announce that Djed Spence has signed a new, long-term contract with the Club.”

Spence was once again impressive in Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Burnley at the weekend, playing on the left-hand side of defence.

Djed Spence set for key role in Tottenham’s 2025/26 campaign

Spence’s journey at Spurs has been anything but straightforward, with the full-back having to endure multiple loan spells away from the club before forcing his way back into contention.

Now, he is poised to play a pivotal role in the 2025/26 season, with Tottenham competing on multiple fronts, including the UEFA Champions League.

Cristian Romero’s future at Tottenham is once again in the spotlight, with reports indicating that discussions with Thomas Frank have taken place regarding a new long-term contract.

Tottenham Hotspur will feel relieved that they have managed to keep hold of their defensive leader, Cristian Romero, up until now in the summer transfer window, especially with Atletico Madrid circling for his signature.

The Spanish side has since moved on to other targets, leaving Tottenham to take decisive action of their own by handing Romero the captain’s armband for the 2025/26 season.

It has been a bright start for the Argentine in his new role, as he marshalled the backline superbly in the Premier League opener, guiding his team to a commanding 3-0 victory over newly promoted Burnley, where his composure and authority stood out.

Tottenham and Thomas Frank hold talks with Cristian Romero

Tottenham are continuing to monitor possible signings for the squad, but securing their top players on new deals is just as high on the agenda.

Fresh report from TBR Football now states that new Spurs manager Thomas Frank has already held discussions with Cristian Romero about his long-term future in north London.

It is understood that Tottenham are determined to tie Romero down to fresh terms after appointing him captain, and talks have been described as positive so far.

The Argentine is said to have been impressed with Frank’s early approach, with Tottenham now prepared to make him the highest-paid player in the squad should he commit his future.

Speaking on the captaincy decision, journalist Graeme Bailey told TBR Football: “Obviously, since it was made aware to Romero that he was not leaving, he has been exemplary in the way he has gone about things; he was the leader of that team anyway. So, from what I am told within Spurs, it was pretty much a no-brainer.”

Bailey further explained the situation surrounding Romero’s contract: “There have been talks with Thomas Frank, and he is very, very happy with what he has come across.

“Will this help persuade him to sign a new contract? It will not hurt. That is what the club really want. They want him to sign this new deal.

“It will see him become the highest-paid player at the club, if things start well this season, I do not think that will be a million miles away.”

Tottenham contract focus could extend beyond Cristian Romero

Cristian Romero is not the only player Tottenham are eager to secure for the long term, as midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is also believed to be in discussions over an extension.

The departure of Heung-min Son to MLS side LAFC this summer has eased pressure on the wage structure, giving Spurs more flexibility to reward their key players.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has shed light on the latest developments regarding Crystal Palace’s transfer plans, which bode well for Tottenham in their pursuit of Eberechi Eze.

Reports have indicated that Tottenham sources are confident that they will be able to strike a deal with Palace for Eze.

However, Eze got the nod to start in Palace’s clash against Chelsea on Sunday, which suggests that the Lilywhites have work to do to secure the player.

Some Spurs fans were concerned when the Independent’s Miguel Delaney reported that Tottenham’s pursuit of the Ealges star has “slowed” and added that the player starting against Chelsea is evidence of the same.

Pete O’Rourke’s latest revelation will give Tottenham Hotspur fans some positive feelings about the Eberechi Eze deal.

The journalist shared he has heard that Palace are now eyeing Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss as a potential replacement for Eze. That suggests that the Eagles are far from confident that the attacking midfielder will remain at Selhurst Park.

Speaking to Football Insider, O’Rourke said about El Khannouss: “He was one of Leicester’s shining lights last season in the Premier League. He’s a very smart operator, and he’s got potential to move on to a bigger club and become a big player for them in the future.

“He isn’t letting the speculation affect him at the moment. He started for Leicester in their opening game of the season and got a couple of assists as well.

“There’s a lot of competition for El Khannouss. Leeds have been strongly looking at him to see if they can bring him in. There has also been talk that Crystal Palace could enter the race for El Khannouss if Eberechi Eze were to leave for Tottenham; he would be seen as a replacement for him.

“I think Leicester are open to selling him, and they’ll face a real battle to convince the player to stay in the Championship if he does have Premier League offers. He’s going to be one to keep an eye on before the end of the window because I think there are going to be offers for him between now and the end of the window.”

Spurs will feel they are in a strong negotiating position for Eze

It has been widely reported that Arsenal have decided against pursuing Eze as they are prioritising signing a left-winger over a number 10.

Additionally, reports indicate that Eberechi Eze has already informed Palace of his desire to join Spurs, and the player has agreed on personal terms with the Lilywhites.

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to accelerate their move for Eberechi Eze over the next 48 hours, according to a new report.

Tottenham have made some smart acquisitions so far this summer, securing the services of Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha, who have both hit the ground running at N17.

However, Spurs are expected to spend big in the final weeks of the transfer window, and they have now turned their attention to another experienced Premier League star.

According to various reports over the last 24 hours, Eze has agreed personal terms with Spurs, whose talks with Palace are now progressing.

Tottenham will accelerate Eberechi Eze talks over the next two days

It has now been revealed by BBC Sport that Spurs will step up their talks over a deal for Eze, which is expected to progress in the next 48 hours.

It is explained that Spurs and Palace have been locked in discussions over the attacking midfielder since the start of last week.

These discussions are said to be ‘progressing positively’ right now, with growing hope at N17 that a deal for the Palace star is now within reach.

The report adds that Tottenham are negotiating an offer slightly lower than Eze’s release clause of £60m, plus a further £8m in add-ons, which has now expired.

A twist in Eze saga suggests deal is not close yet

Until Saturday, it was widely reported that Eze is not expected to feature for Crystal Palace against Chelsea as he was close to a move to Spurs.

However, the attacking midfielder was named in Oliver Glasner’s starting line-up at Stamford Bridge, which suggests that an agreement between the two clubs is still not close.

Fabrizio Romano has delivered the latest twist in the Savinho transfer saga, with Tottenham still pushing hard to bring the winger to north London before the summer window closes.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City remain in contact during this transfer window as Spurs continue to pursue City winger Savinho.

The Brazilian youngster has emerged as one of the names Tottenham are intent on signing as Thomas Frank looks to bolster his wide options ahead of the long campaign.

The 21-year-old was not involved in City’s Premier League opener, with Pep Guardiola confirming that an injury kept him out of the matchday squad.

The summer transfer window remains open and so does Tottenham’s interest in Savinho, with Fabrizio Romano now providing the latest update on the winger’s situation.

According to the transfer expert, it is understood that Savinho remains attracted by the idea of a move to north London, with talks between both clubs not yet concluded despite City’s stance.

It is explained that Tottenham are expected to make another attempt after their opening proposal was rejected last week, as the north London club remains determined to test City’s resolve.

Manchester City are currently not open to selling Savinho; however, there is a sense that an improved offer could potentially change the picture.

Savinho’s pace and trickery set to add another dimension to Spurs’ attack

Reports earlier this week revealed that Tottenham had submitted a £42 million bid for Savinho, a figure that fell short of Manchester City’s valuation and was swiftly dismissed by the former Premier League champions.

Even so, the player’s openness to the move provides encouragement for Spurs, who are eager to strengthen their forward line.

The need for a new wide player has grown sharper following the departure of Heung-min Son, and Savinho’s profile fits perfectly into what Frank is trying to build at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

His pace, trickery, and direct style would give Spurs an added dimension in the final third, as Tottenham’s attack has already looked dangerous this season, with Mohammed Kudus bringing flair and unpredictability on the right.

Frank appears intent on adding further variety, and it comes as little surprise that he is pursuing another highly talented wide option in Savinho.

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.

Fabio Paratici spotted watching Tottenham target Eberechi Eze

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.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has now provided a positive update on Tottenham’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze, revealing what the attacking midfielder has informed his England teammates of his transfer desire.

Tottenham fans were delighted to see their side make a winning start to the season on Saturday, with the Lilywhites making easy work of Burnley in Thomas Frank’s first Premier League game in charge of the club.

In the hours following the 3-0 win, the supporters became even more excited as it was widely reported that Eze is now close to completing a move to Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur looked formidable going forward against the Clarets, and the prospect of adding the Palace star to the attack is certainly a tantalising one. It appears that the 27-year-old expects the move to go through.

What Eberechi Eze has told his England teammates about Tottenham move

It has now been revealed by journalist Ben Jacobs on talkSPORT that Eze has reached an agreement with Spurs and is now waiting for the North London club to strike a deal with Palace.

The report claims that Tottenham are looking to pay around £60m for the 28-year-old, whose £68m release clause expired on Friday.

Most interestingly, it is alleged that the former QPR man has already informed his England teammates that he expects his move to Spurs to go through.

Eze wants to play Champions League football and remain in London, which is why a move to Tottenham is very appealing for him.

Eze will play against Chelsea this afternoon

While Jacobs says in the report that the Tottenham target is likely to miss Crystal Palace’s season opener, that appears to have changed since this morning.

Several sources, including David Ornstein, are now reporting that Eze is expected to feature against Chelsea this afternoon, even though Tottenham’s pursuit of the midfielder is still ongoing.

That suggests that a deal may not be as close as previously thought, and Spurs still have work to do to get the transfer over the line.
