Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace for the signing of England international Eberechi Eze.
The 27-year-old attacking midfielder has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers in recent seasons, registering 25 goal contributions in all competitions last term.

Spurs accelerated talks last week after interest from Arsenal cooled, with chairman Daniel Levy personally leading negotiations with Palace counterpart Steve Parish.
Reports suggest Tottenham have agreed a £55m fee plus £5m in add-ons, just below the £68m release clause that expired earlier this summer.
Eze Waiting For Final Green Light
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Eze has already agreed personal terms with Spurs and is “clear” in his desire to play Champions League football.
Romano revealed: “Tottenham keep working on Eze after Monday’s meeting between Levy and Parish. The player wants the move after making history at Palace, winning two titles.”
Journalist Ben Jacobs added that Palace must secure a replacement before sanctioning the deal, with Eze still training as normal despite being “ready” to leave.
Eze even featured in Palace’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea, underlining his professionalism while talks continue behind the scenes, reports Football 365.
Tottenham remain confident of sealing the move before the end of the window, with Ange Postecoglou eager to add creativity and goals from midfield.
If completed, the £60m signing would represent a major statement of intent from Spurs ahead of their Champions League return.
