Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze is gathering momentum, though the transfer remains delicately poised after protracted talks with Crystal Palace. The FA Cup holders have proposed a deal worth £55 million plus add-ons, but discussions over payment structure continue to delay an agreement.

Fabrizio Romano believes that Eberechi Eze’s move to Tottenham Hotspur is now 85 percent likely following the latest round of talks. Levy and Steve Parrish held talks on Monday to try to reach an agreement over the 27-year-old, with confidence growing that an agreement would be reached.
