Overview

  • Spurs and Arsenal are in direct talks with Eze’s representatives but neither club has yet triggered his £68 million release clause.
  • Tottenham’s interest intensified after James Maddison suffered a preseason ACL injury, prompting calls from Jermaine Defoe to recruit a creative midfielder.
  • Arsenal have held multiple contacts with Eze’s agents and view him as a versatile option on the left flank or as a No.10, though no formal bid has been made to Palace.
  • Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner confirmed Eze will play in the Community Shield but declined to guarantee his long-term stay at Selhurst Park.
  • Eze’s standout 2024/25 season—marked by 15 goals, 11 assists and the FA Cup–winning strike—has cemented his status as one of the Premier League’s most coveted playmakers.
