Exclusive: Tottenham opening Eberechi Eze preliminary talks with early offer
Tottenham are ready to launch a bid for Crystal Palace star man Eberechi Eze this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The Palace star, 26, has hit a purple patch of form in recent weeks – scoring five goals in his last four appearances across all competitions.
He was the difference as Palace beat Spurs 2-0 on Sunday (11 May), scoring a brace against Ange Postecoglou‘s side.
Eze has a £68million release clause in his contract at Selhurst Park but it is believed Tottenham are planning to offer below that figure in initial negotiations this summer.
Tottenham plot low-ball Eze bid
The Lilywhites are keen to add reinforcements in attacking midfield – especially if they qualify for the Champions League via victory in the Europa League next week.
Eze is under contract at Crystal Palace until June 2027 and the Eagles were surprised at the lack of interest in the England international last summer (2024).
| Appearances (Starts) | 40 (38) |
| Minutes Played | 3142 |
| Goals | 12 |
| Assists | 11 |
| Yellow Cards | 1 |
He has continued his good form for Oliver Glasner’s side this term after a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 12 goals and adding 11 assists in 40 games across all competitions.
The former QPR star scored his first goal for England in the 3-0 win over Latvia in March – his first appearance under Thomas Tuchel.
Tottenham set sights on Porro replacement
Meanwhile, Football Insider has revealed (9 May) that Tottenham are readying a move for Greece international Georgios Vagiannidis as a potential replacement for Pedro Porro.
Fulham, Everton, Leeds and Sporting CP have also been credited with an interest in the Panathinaikos right-back.
Tottenham are bracing themselves for interest in Porro this summer with Man City among those keen to land the Spain international.
