However, the deal may be delayed due to Palace's requirement to bring in a replacement midfielder before allowing Eze to join Tottenham. This is a common practice in football to ensure that the team's squad remains competitive.

Additionally, Palace is set to play a crucial Europa Conference League playoff match against Fredrikstad on Thursday, which may further complicate the transfer negotiations. A delay in the transfer process could impact the timeline for completing the deal.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has expressed confidence in Eze's ability to recover from a recent injury and return to the team's starting lineup. Speaking after Sunday's 0-0 draw against Chelsea, Glasner stated that Eze had trained throughout the week and had no reason not to be selected for the match. The manager also expects Eze to be back playing for Palace against Fredrikstad in the upcoming match.
