BBC reported that Tottenham accelerated its bid for Crystal Palace striker Eze, and an agreement is expected to be reached within 48 hours.
Tottenham is accelerating its pace and hopes to sign Crystal Palace striker Eze, and negotiations are expected to make progress in the next 48 hours. The two Premier League clubs have been discussing the transfer of 27-year-old Eze since this week. According to BBC Sports, the negotiations are progressing smoothly and Tottenham is full of confidence in reaching an agreement.
Crystal Palace will play against Chelsea on Sunday, and whether Eze will be on the roster is still questionable, which may herald the two clubs are close to reaching an agreement. The England international has an expiring termination clause in the contract, with an initial value of £60 million, plus additional terms of £68 million. It is understood that Tottenham is negotiating a offer that is slightly lower than the total termination amount.
In addition, Crystal Palace is also discussing with Liverpool about the sale of captain Gee. If Gee and Eze are sold, the proceeds will be reinvested into the team, with Leicester City attacker Bilar Elhanus being one of the players interested in Crystal Palace.
Tottenham coach Frank hopes to strengthen the roster on the offensive end, as midfielder Madison will miss most of the season due to an ACL injury. South Korean striker Son Heung-min ended his 10-year career at Tottenham earlier this month, while midfielder Kulusevsky is still undergoing recovery treatment after knee surgery.
Eze's contract expires in the summer of 2027, and he scored 14 goals for Crystal Palace in various competitions last season, including a 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final. He joined Crystal Palace from Queens Park Rangers for £19.5 million in 2020, scoring 40 goals in 168 appearances.
