Take a look at all the latest news regarding the future of Eberechi Eze at Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.
This summer is set to be a tough one for Crystal Palace as they look to navigate a transfer window filled with uncertainty.
Following impressive performances last season, plenty of their key players have been linked with an exit from Selhurst Park.
One of those has already been confirmed, with Michael Olise joining Bayern Munich in a transfer worth £50.8million.
Marc Guehi has been linked with an exit from Crystal Palace this summer too, with plenty of suitors queueing up for a move.
That’s while Eberechi Eze has also been linked with a switch, which would be a huge blow to the squad.
So with that said, here’s a look at everything we know about an exit for Eze this summer.

Eberechi Eze contract
Eze’s latest contract signing at Crystal Palace came in November 2023 as the winger put pen to paper on a new four-year deal.
His current contracted stay at Selhurst Park is until 2027, giving the club three years of security surrounding his place in the squad.
This means that the Eagles are under no pressure to sell if offers are made, given that his value is likely to stay consistent.
Eze release clause
In signing a new deal last November, Eze has a release clause included that will impact any potential transfer.
Release clauses are required to be paid upfront, rather than in instalments, and this means that the club can hold that value to any suitors.
Reports have claimed that Eze has a £68million release clause in his Crystal Palace contract, which would be the club’s most expensive sale of all time.
Michael Olise impact on Eberechi Eze exit
With Olise having left Crystal Palace this summer, there have been concerns over whether that will also force a move for Eze.
The two forwards formed a dream partnership for the club in their time as a duo, but with that now over, there are potential worries.
Recent reports have stated that Olise’s move to Bayern Munich may push Eze to leave Crystal Palace, coming as a potential blow.
The 26-year-old, much like his teammate, has a release clause that could see a host of teams trigger a deal.
Tottenham and Arsenal interest
Amid the links with a move this summer, Tottenham and Arsenal appear to be the frontrunners in the race for Eze.
Reports have stated that Spurs appear the favourites over their North London rivals, though the release clause is yet to be triggered.
The 26-year-old spent much of the summer so far on international duty with England at Euro 2024, which may have prevented any move being made.
With the forward now on his break before returning for pre-season, it’s a situation that could heat up in the weeks ahead.
Tottenham talks for Eze
The latest reports have claimed that Tottenham have held talks with Eze and his representatives over wage demands involved in a transfer.
Ange Postecoglou appears to be keen to get a deal done for the winger, bolstering his side’s chances of a Champions League finish and beyond.
Eze is claimed to be on a wage of £100,000-per-week at Crystal Palace, following the signing of a new deal back in November.
