Overview

• Spurs’ opening bid of approximately £60 million marks their first formal offer for Eze this window.
• Palace have insisted on firm replacement plans before allowing Eze to depart, bolstered by his release clause expiry and two years remaining on his contract.
• The South London club are pursuing Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis and Leicester’s Bilal El Khannouss and monitoring Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan as interim cover.
• Data from FBCharts and Opta indicates Tzolis excels in chance creation and goal threat, while El Khannouss offers a balanced midfield presence with strong defensive contributions.
• Eze remains integral to Palace’s campaign, featuring in their recent goalless draw with Chelsea and slated to start in upcoming Conference League fixtures.
