Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is pushing for a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, motivated by the chance to compete in the Champions League after Spurs secured Europa League success last season.
Key Details:
✔ Player’s Ambition: Eze, 25, wants to test himself at the highest level after a stellar 14G/11A season with Palace.
✔ Spurs’ Need: Injuries to Maddison (ACL) and Kulusevski (knee) make Eze a top target for new boss Thomas Frank.
✔ Transfer Status:
- £68m release clause expired (Aug 8)
- Spurs negotiating £60m+add-ons deal with Palace
- Eze “keen” on move but Arsenal also interested
Why This Matters
• Tottenham’s UCL Push: Eze could be the creative spark needed for deeper European runs
• Arsenal’s Dilemma: Must sell (e.g., Trossard) to afford Eze, who once dreamed of Gunners return
• Palace’s Challenge: Losing their talisman after Olise’s Bayern move would be a major blow
What Next?
→ This Week: Spurs expected to formalize bid
→ Arsenal’s Move: Can they hijack the deal?
→ Eze’s Decision: Does he prioritize UCL football or childhood club?
