According to The Athletic, the Carabao Cup and Community Shield winners are keen on finding a replacement for the versatile attacker in the coming days.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a fee in the region of £60 million (€69.4m), including add-ons, has been proposed to seal a deal for the 27-year-old attacker.

Palace have identified Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss and Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge as potential replacements for Eze.

Eze scored the decisive goal in the FA Cup final against Premier League giants Manchester City, securing the club’s first major trophy in 119 years—a historic triumph for the Eagles.

He bagged 14 goals and delivered 11 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions last season, with strong links to Arsenal before Tottenham stepped in to hijack the deal.

Eze has been on Tottenham’s radar for months, with interest dating back to September, though they intensified their pursuit following James Maddison’s ACL injury during pre-season.

He is expected to become Tottenham’s seventh signing of the 2025 summer transfer window if the deal is completed, following the purchases of Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic, Kota Takai, and Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich.
