Man City, Tottenham 'learn new asking price for Crystal Palace star'

Crystal Palace are reportedly willing to consider offers worth £70m or more for Eberechi Eze, amid interest from Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly learned Crystal Palace's asking price for Eberechi Eze ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old has continued to be a shining light at the focal point of the Eagles' attack this season, flourishing under the management of Oliver Glasner in recent months.

Eze has appeared in 26 Premier League matches for the Croydon-based club this term, finding the net on nine occasions and providing three assists.

Palace's exceptional form in the top flight continued on Saturday afternoon when they travelled to Molineux and recorded a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Eze managed to breach the net of goalkeeper David Bentley to make sure of maximum points for the Eagles, with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michael Olise also getting onto the scoresheet.

Man City, Tottenham learn Eze asking price?

According to Football Insider, Crystal Palace have revealed their asking price for attacker Eze ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

The report claims that the Eagles are willing to consider offers of over £70m for the 25-year-old during the approaching summer trading point.

It is understood that Premier League champions Manchester City are keen on securing the services of Palace's Eze ahead of the 2024-25 term.

The Citizens are said to now be joined by Tottenham in their pursuit of the attacker, though, with the Lilywhites looking to transform into a title-challenging side under Ange Postecoglou.

Glasner's men are in a strong position to drive a hard bargain with any potential purchasers, as Eze's deal at Selhurst Park expires in the summer of 2027.

Eze's European ambitions

For a third season since making the switch from Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers in 2020, Eze has provided 10 or more goal contributions in the Premier League.

Such numbers - coupled with impressive overall displays - have caught the eye of England manager Gareth Southgate, who called the attacker into the Three Lions squad last year.

With UEFA announcing that competing teams will be allowed to bring 26-man squads to this summer's European Championship, Eze has a good chance of representing England at a senior major tournament for the first time.

Focusing on club football, it is understood that the Eagles star wants to play on the continental stage next term, something that both Man City and Spurs could offer.
