Tottenham step up talks for Eze with Champions League offer
Tottenham Hotspur have intensified their bid to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, with the England international eager to make the move.
Eberechi Eze has informed Crystal Palace of his desire to play Champions League football, a prospect Spurs can offer this season under Thomas Frank.
Talks between the two clubs are ongoing, but progress may be slower than Tottenham would like after the player's release clause expired earlier in the summer.
This means any deal will hinge on Palace's willingness to negotiate and their valuation of the player, who remains a key figure at Selhurst Park.
Eze's potential arrival has taken on added urgency for Spurs following the injury to James Maddison and the departure of Son Heung-min.
The 27-year-old's creativity, ball-carrying ability and knack for unlocking defences are viewed as ideal qualities to complement Tottenham's attack.
While Spurs are also in separate discussions to sign Savinho from Manchester City, the Eze deal is being treated as a top priority. Securing his signature would mark a major coup and underline the club's intent to strengthen ahead of a demanding season.
