According to Football Insider, Crystal Palace are now determined to ward off interest from Tottenham Hotspur and hang on to Eberechi Eze.
Eze is now preparing for the Euro 2024 final on Sunday along with his England teammates but back home, the attacking midfielder’s future continues to be the subject of much speculation.
Football Insider’s latest update on the player’s future comes as a blow to Tottenham, with the report claiming that Palace are determined to resist offers for their star man.
The outlet reveals that both Spurs and Manchester United are long-term admirers of Eze, but after having lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, the Eagles are expected to fight to keep hold of the 25-year-old.
The report states that Oliver Glasner has made it clear to the club’s board that he wants the England international to remain at Selhurst Park and ‘optimism is high’ at Selhurst Park that the midfielder will indeed stay.
The publication adds that both the Lilywhites and the Red Devils are expected to push ahead with moves for Eze upon his return from the tournament in Germany.

If Tottenham want to sign Eze, they would likely have to meet the attacking midfielder’s release clause, which by most accounts is far from straightforward.
That is perhaps why Spurs have also made some advances towards Rennes starlet Desire Doue over recent weeks, however, they also face a battle on their hands given the interest from Bayern and PSG.
