Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze . Spurs chairman Daniel Levy reportedly held talks with Palace counterpart Steve Parish over a possible deal for the England midfielder, and the north London club are getting close to securing his signature.

Spurs opted against triggering a £68 million ($92 million) release clause before it expired last Friday, which would have required the total fee to be paid up front, and are hoping to negotiate a deal starting at a guaranteed £55 million, plus add-ons.

Eberechi Eze is nearing a move to Tottenham Hotspur, but the Crystal Palace FA Cup hero's past comments about Arsenal are unlikely to go down well with their rivals
