Tottenham accelerates chasing Eze, Crystal Palace priced at £55 million

Tottenham is accelerating the acquisition negotiations against Crystal Palace attacker Eberec Eze, but Selhurst Park insists that it must first lock in the replacement before it will be released. According to the Guardian, due to a serious injury to James Madison's ACL and Kulusevsky's knee problem, Tottenham Hotspur regards the England international as a key reinforcement target. Eze's contract originally included a 68 million pound termination clause, but it expired last Friday. North London club hopes to reach a deal with a 55 million pound basic transfer fee + floating clause. It is worth noting that Eze's parent team Queen's Park Rangers will receive a 15% share of the transfer profit - Crystal Palace will take it from Lovetus Road for £19 million in 2020.

This transfer game has hidden multiple variables: Eze's agency CAA Base is closely related to Tottenham, and the player himself is open to switching to the Champions League team, although Arsenal, who he supported as a child, also expressed interest. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace has launched an emergency plan to list Leicester City's Bilal Elhanus and Bruges' Christos Zorlis as alternatives, but the former's £26 million asking price has hit a wall in the first round of 20 million quotation. Coach Glasner confirmed that Eze may still play in the UEFA qualifying match against Frederick Stad on Thursday - according to UEFA rules, players can still represent their new clubs in the European Championship this season.

This transfer storm also involved a chain effect: Crystal Palace central defender Mark Guy's transfer is pending, Liverpool has not yet matched the £40 million price tag, and the fact that the player's contract expires next summer puts chairman Steve Parish in a dilemma. Data website FBref shows that Guy averaged 4.3 clearances per game last season, and his potential departure will force the club to consider Portuguese sports star Diormand, but the latter's muscle injury caused a trade strand. Polish defender Kiviol, who experienced frustration at Stamford Bridge, became an alternative, but the players were more inclined to develop overseas, and Porto is pushing for negotiations to rent first and then buy. This summer game not only tests the negotiation wisdom of the management of each team, but also will profoundly affect the combat power pattern of the Premier League midstream group.
