According to Football Transfers, Tottenham could initiate discussions with Crystal Palace for the €70 million-rated Eberechi Eze.

Tottenham to initiate Ebereche Eze discussions
There is a big battle brewing in the background for Eberechi Eze, as the transfer window looks set to hit top gear in the coming weeks. The Crystal Palace man is away with England ahead of UEFA Euro 2024 and is expected to make the final 26-man squad ahead of the grand tournament in Germany.
Before that, Tottenham are angling for a quick move for the €70 million-rated star as they are keen to bring him to north London ahead of the summer. Spurs had invited his family to the most recent north London Derby, which they lost. But they have already held talks with Eze’s representatives to a certain degree.
Tottenham are keen to initiate discussions with Crystal Palace about a move, with the report suggesting the Eagles may have a gentleman’s agreement with Eze to let him make his big summer move. Whether there is any truth to those stories remains the question, but the player’s family has close ties with the north London side.
The report also states that Spurs may benefit from paying only €70 million, with hints that other clubs might have to shell out more to sign the playmaker. As things stand, there are no accurate sources to confirm these conditions about Tottenham. But they are surely interested in signing the England international.
Chelsea, Manchester United to challenge Spurs
A host of Premier League sides are keen to sign Eze ahead of the summer, with Tottenham indeed facing competition from Chelsea and Manchester United. The Premier League giants are eager to bring a player of the Crystal Palace attacker’s quality.
Whether they will have to pay more to sign Eze remains the question. But as things stand, especially going by what the report states, Spurs may have the upper hand. None of Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are part of next season’s Champions League. Meanwhile, other clubs, especially Manchester City, are looking at Eze as a target and an alternative to Lucas Paqueta.
