Tottenham Hotspur submit initial offer for Eberechi Eze | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have tabled an opening bid of around £60 million for Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze.

Spurs face a critical need for added creativity and attacking potency after Heung-min Son’s summer exit and James Maddison’s recent injury.

Eze joined Palace from Queens Park Rangers in 2020 and has flourished with the club.

He has racked up 34 goals and 23 assists in 146 Premier League appearances and also delivered Palace’s first-ever major trophy with the winning goal in the 2025 FA Cup final.

Eze started for Palace in their recent Premier League opening match against Chelsea. He scored from a free-kick, but VAR ruled out the effort.

Speaking after the game, Palace manager Oliver Glasner acknowledged the ongoing negotiations with Spurs.

However, he expects him to continue playing for Palace until a move is completed and is confident the player remains committed to the team.

Eze’s £68 million release clause recently expired, but Tottenham are confident of agreeing a deal as talks continue with Palace.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are already stepping up their search for a potential replacement if Eze leaves.

Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss is a leading target, although contact has also been made for Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis.

Palace are next in action on Thursday when they welcome Norwegian outfit Fredrikstad to Selhurst Park in the Europa Conference League play-offs.
