“Eberechi Eze has made special message to Crystal Palace fans as Tottenham prepare offer
Tottenham Hotspur’s chase for Eberechi Eze appears to be accelerating at pace, with the latest developments suggesting the Crystal Palace playmaker has now taken a decisive step towards securing a move to North London. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed what the England international has communicated to Palace’s hierarchy as Spurs prepare to make their first formal move.
On Thursday morning, well-known Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe reported that Spurs were preparing their opening bid for Eze after holding productive talks with Crystal Palace. Those discussions have set the stage for what could be one of the most eye-catching deals of the summer window for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Earlier in the day, talkSPORT provided further insight into Tottenham’s approach, claiming the club are aiming to strike a deal worth around £55 million for the 27-year-old. However, the report also highlighted a potential stumbling block — Palace’s stance. The Eagles are under no pressure to sell and, despite Eze’s £68 million release clause expiring tomorrow, there is a strong possibility that they will still demand the full figure before sanctioning a sale.
Eze Signals His Desire for a Move
Fabrizio Romano has since added more fuel to the fire. Speaking on his YouTube channel, the transfer guru confirmed that Eze has privately informed the Palace hierarchy of his desire to join Tottenham this summer. The midfielder’s intent could prove to be a pivotal factor in negotiations, potentially giving Spurs added leverage in what promises to be a tense and closely watched transfer saga.
Romano also confirmed that Tottenham’s interest in Eze is not mutually exclusive to their pursuit of Savinho, the highly rated winger currently on Manchester City’s books. Spurs remain in the hunt for both players, but would need to table an offer north of €60 million (£51.6m) to secure the Brazilian’s signature. This hints at an ambitious transfer strategy from Ange Postecoglou and the club’s hierarchy, with Tottenham seeking to strengthen both creativity and attacking depth before the window closes.
Tottenham Have a Clear Picture of the Deal
According to a report from TEAMtalk earlier this week, Spurs have been engaged in detailed discussions with Crystal Palace for several days and now have a clear understanding of exactly what it will take to prise Eze away from Selhurst Park. The former QPR star, who has become one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking midfielders, is seen as a potential game-changer for Tottenham’s ambitions this season.
If the club are now ready to move from talks to a formal bid, it suggests that they believe a compromise on the fee is possible — or at least that the total package can be structured in a way to satisfy Palace.
However, Tottenham fans know all too well that promising negotiations can sometimes end in disappointment. Earlier this summer, the club’s pursuit of Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White seemed to be heading in a positive direction before ultimately collapsing. That experience serves as a reminder that no deal is done until the player is photographed holding the famous white shirt at Hotspur Way.
A Defining Move for Postecoglou’s Project?
Should Tottenham succeed in landing Eze, it would represent a significant statement of intent. The England international offers creativity, flair, and goals from midfield — qualities that could help unlock stubborn defences and elevate Spurs’ attacking play. His versatility also makes him a perfect fit for Postecoglou’s fluid, high-tempo style, with the ability to operate centrally or drift into wide positions to exploit space.
For now, the ball is in Tottenham’s court. With Eze pushing for the move, negotiations likely to intensify, and the release clause window closing in a matter of hours, the coming days could be decisive. Spurs’ fanbase will be watching closely, hoping that this time, their club can turn ambition into action.
If you want, I can also create a more dramatic transfer-saga version of this piece with extra tension and “deadline drama” storytelling so it feels like a Sky Sports breaking-news feature. That would really make the Eze chase sound like a blockbuster.
