Overview

• Tottenham held a two-hour meeting with Crystal Palace officials to present a transfer framework they deem acceptable.
• Spurs value Eze at about £55m while Palace insist on his £68m release clause, leaving a fee gap to bridge in the next 48 hours.
• Eberechi Eze is said to be open to joining Tottenham, drawn by the prospect of a guaranteed starting role and Champions League football.
• Arsenal remain keen on Eze but have yet to lodge a formal bid as they manage heavy summer spending and player sales requirements.
• With only 48 hours left before Eze’s release clause window closes, both clubs face a tight deadline to finalise any agreement.
