Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze has become one of the most sought-after talents in the Premier League, with both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly preparing bids for the attacking midfielder this summer.
The 25-year-old has been in scintillating form under new manager Oliver Glasner, scoring crucial goals and providing creative spark for the Eagles. His performances have not gone unnoticed by London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, who are both keen to bolster their attacking options.
Eze's Rising Stock
Since joining Crystal Palace from QPR in 2020, Eze has developed into one of the most exciting English talents in the top flight. His ability to glide past defenders and create chances has made him indispensable to Palace's attacking play.
This season has seen Eze take his game to new heights, with his partnership with Michael Olise proving particularly devastating for opposition defences. His recent brace against Wolves showcased his growing influence in the team.
North London Rivalry Reignited
The potential transfer battle between Arsenal and Tottenham adds another chapter to their fierce rivalry. Both clubs see Eze as the perfect addition to their squads:
- Arsenal view him as potential competition for Martin Ødegaard
- Tottenham see him as an ideal replacement for the departed Harry Kane's creativity
With Palace likely to demand a significant fee for their prized asset, the transfer could become one of the summer's biggest sagas.
Glasner's Dilemma
New Palace manager Oliver Glasner faces a tough decision regarding Eze's future. While the club would prefer to keep their star player, the financial reality of modern football means every player has their price.
Glasner has previously spoken about building his team around Eze, but a substantial offer from either North London club might prove too tempting to refuse, especially if the player expresses a desire to move.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Selhurst Park to see how this developing story unfolds.
