Fresh transfer updates have now confirmed that Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is open to joining another Premier League club, with Tottenham now emerging as a serious contender alongside Arsenal. The news comes as the summer 2025 transfer window intensifies ahead of the new season.
According to a report from The Guardian, North London rivals Tottenham have opened talks for Eze as they look to fill the creative void left by a long-term injury to James Maddison and the recent departure of Son Heung-min to the MLS. It appears Spurs are hoping to beat Arsenal to the signing, as the Gunners reportedly need to offload players before they can finance a move.
Renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has hinted that Eze is open to a move to Spurs, as he is seeking to play Champions League football in a new season. “Spurs want to add two attacking players to the squad and talks with Palace and Manchester City are ongoing,” Romano wrote on X. Tottenham won the Europa League last season, securing them a spot in the Champions League.
Eberechi Eze’s Release Clause Eberechi Eze’s contract includes a release clause worth around £68 million, though reports suggest this provision expires on Friday, August 15, 2025. Once this clause expires, Crystal Palace would be free to set their own asking price, which could be higher than the current clause. With two years remaining on his current deal at Selhurst Park, Palace are bracing for potential bids before the transfer window shuts.
