Crystal Palace star midfielder Eberechi Eze has told the club he wants to join Tottenham Hotspur, turning down a potential move to Arsenal.

The 27-year-old has been on the radar of the Gunners throughout the summer, but reports now suggest he has already agreed on personal terms with Spurs.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on X (formerly Twitter):

“Eberechi Eze has informed Crystal Palace earlier this week about his desire to join Tottenham. Talks are progressing as Eze has already said yes to the Spurs project, ready to make his move this month. Nothing done yet but Eze hopes for a #THFC move ASAP.”

This development leaves Arsenal with a decision to make — either step up their pursuit of Eze or risk losing him completely to their North London rivals.

Eze has been a standout performer for Crystal Palace, and his move could be a huge boost for Tottenham as they strengthen their squad for the new season.
