The Daily Mail have revealed that Tottenham target Eberechi Eze is now close to putting pen to paper on a new contract with Crystal Palace. The Athletic have also confirmed that the contract has been signed by Eze.
The report states that Palace had been aware of the increasing interest in Eze from Spurs and other Premier League clubs and had thus been locked in talks with the players’ entourage over an extension over a number of weeks.
There has now been a breakthrough, with the midfielder said to have reached an ‘agreement in principle’ with the club over a long-term deal.

Eberechi Eze will be tough for Spurs to sign now
The Mail state that the deal is now in place and only the formalities are left to be done before it is officially announced, with the England international set to earn a salary in the region of £100,000 per week.
It is explained that Eze’s new contract will end any notion of a January departure from Selhurst Park but there is expected to be significant interest in the player once again next summer.
The report adds that Tottenham have held a ‘long-term interest’ in the former QPR man while Newcastle and Manchester City are also admirers of the versatile attacker.
Spurs Web Opinion
This new contract likely ends Tottenham’s chances of winning the race for Eze. Palace will likely demand upwards of £70m-£80m for the attacking midfielder next summer (potentially even more if he has an outstanding season), which I cannot see Spurs paying.
