Eberechi Eze reportedly declined a contract extension offered by Crystal Palace earlier this summer, as revealed by 90 min. This comes as a boost for Tottenham Hotspur, who have been rumored to have an interest in the 25-year-old attacking midfielder along with Manchester City.
Eze’s decision to reject the new deal raises questions about his future at Selhurst Park and could potentially signal a forthcoming transfer.
Overcoming injury setbacks to become a prominent figure on the pitch, his contributions have proved very important for Palace with 10 goals and 4 assists last season. And that form was capped off with his first appearance for the England national team in a resounding 4-0 victory over Malta in June.
As his potential continues to flourish, Eze seems poised for a move to a larger club now. Consequently, it’s hardly surprising that both Tottenham (as reported by Football.London) and Manchester City (as mentioned by the Daily Mail) are said to want him during the conclusion of this window.
Now as per the recent update from 90 min – Crystal Palace had extended a contract offer to the player earlier in the summer, but Eze chose not to commit to the proposed extension which casts a shadow of uncertainty over his future with the Eagles suggesting the possibility of an impending departure.
The spotlight on Tottenham’s interest in Eze further underlines the situation with just two years left on his current contract, the South London club faces a challenge in maintaining their resolve to keep Eberechi Eze. If Tottenham were to submit an offer in the range of £55 million to £60 million during the final days of the transfer window it could be a test of Crystal Palace’s determination to hold onto him – who are also facing a race against time to keep a hold of Cheick Doucouré who is being eyed by Liverpool.
