Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly escalating their efforts to sign Crystal Palace’s standout midfielder, Eberechi Eze, by preparing a substantial player-plus-cash offer, according to Teamtalk.
The 26-year-old England international has attracted significant interest following a stellar season, prompting Spurs to consider activating his £68 million release clause or negotiating a deal involving both cash and a player exchange.
Eze’s current contract with Crystal Palace runs until June 2027 and includes a release clause set to activate this summer, expiring in mid-August.
Crystal Palace want to keep Eberechi Eze
Palace are keen to retain their star midfielder and have initiated talks to extend his contract, aiming to fend off interest from Tottenham and other Premier League clubs.
The midfielder’s impressive performance in the 2024–25 season, in which he scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists across all competitions, has made him a hot commodity in the transfer market.
His versatility and playmaking abilities have not only been pivotal for Palace but have also caught the attention of top clubs looking to strengthen their creative options.
Tottenham, after winning the Europa League, are ready to strengthen their squad for next season as they prepare for the Champions League.
Spurs are interested in a move for Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig to add firepower to their attack.
While Eze’s Crystal Palace teammate Marc Guehi is another player being chased by Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Tottenham are ready to spend big this summer
Despite finishing 17th in the Premier League, Spurs secured a Europa League title, ensuring Champions League qualification for the upcoming season.
The signing of a dynamic midfielder like Eze could be instrumental in enhancing their competitiveness on both domestic and European fronts.
While Eze remains content at Selhurst Park, sources suggest he is open to opportunities that offer higher-level competition and the potential for silverware.
His ambition to play a prominent role for England in the 2026 World Cup further fuels his consideration of a move.
