According to reports, the family members of the 25-year-old player have received special invitations from the club to attend the North London Derby against Arsenal on Sunday.
This match is crucial for Mikel Arteta’s side as they continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.
The player in question, Eze, is highly sought after by several top Premier League teams. While there have been reports linking him to Manchester City and, to a lesser extent, Arsenal, Tottenham is also keenly interested in signing the winger and is prepared to intensify their pursuit.
Interestingly, Spurs currently hold a significant advantage over Manchester City in the race to secure Eze’s signature.
The player, who was born in Greenwich, London, reportedly has strong family ties to Tottenham, which makes them his preferred destination.
Sources indicate that Tottenham may need to pay a transfer fee of approximately €64 million (£55 million) to acquire the services of the Palace star.
With Ange Postecoglou expected to have a summer transfer budget ranging from €230-290 million (£200-£250 million), the possibility of Eze joining Spurs seems quite likely.
Eze, a player who spent five years at Arsenal and was subsequently rejected by the club in 2011, now finds himself in a situation with symbolic significance.
Tottenham has extended an invitation to his family to watch Spurs face off against the Gunners. This gesture carries weight, especially considering Eze’s history with Arsenal.
Should Eze choose to join their London rivals in the summer, it could be a decision that Mikel Arteta’s side comes to regret. The winger, who holds the distinction of being a twice-capped England international, boasts an impressive club career.
With over 200 appearances for QPR, Wycombe, and Crystal Palace, Eze has featured in more than 100 Premier League games, contributing 23 goals and 14 assists along the way.
Interestingly, Palace’s performance this season seems closely tied to Eze’s involvement. They have secured victory in only one of the 10 league matches where Eze was absent – that lone win coming against Burnley.
