Tottenham are still working on a deal to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace and their pursuit could now be aided with their Premier League rivals closing in on a replacement

EBERECHI EZE was left awkwardly laughing live on TV after overhearing a comment from a Sky Sports News reporter. The Crystal Palace star is expected to swap south for north and join Tottenham

The Crystal Palace attacking midfielder has been linked with both Arsenal and Spurs throughout the summer transfer window

Tottenham are hoping to make three more signings before the end of the window, as they push to complete a deal for Eberechi Eze. The focus for now is on wrapping up a move for the Crystal Palace star, but Spurs are also looking to add a winger and another centre-back to Thomas Frank's squad this summer.

EBERECHI EZE could still play in Crystal Palace’s European opener - as his proposed move to Tottenham drags on. Spurs are pushing hard to sign the England star, 27. And while it is believed a deal worth in the region of £60million is close, it is understood there remains a sticking point over payment conditions.

Romero joined Spurs from Juventus in summer 2021, in a deal worth €55million (£47.4m; $64.3m at current rates), and has been a mainstay at the heart of defence under former head coaches Nuno Espirito Santo, Antonio Conte and Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham remain in talks with Crystal Palace over a move for playmaker Eberechi Eze and there is a 'good chance' of a deal, per David Ornstein.
