Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace’s manager, has handed Tottenham a blow with his latest revelation about Eberechi Eze’s stance on joining Arsenal. According to Glasner, Eze has expressed reservations about moving to Arsenal, despite the club’s strong interest in signing him. Glasner mentioned that “although every player wants to play for Arsenal,” Eze’s comments suggest he might not be keen on joining the Gunners.

Implications for Tottenham

This news could potentially benefit Tottenham, who have also been linked with Eze. With Arsenal’s interest seemingly waning, Tottenham might find themselves in a stronger position to sign the midfielder. However, it’s essential to note that Eze’s release clause has expired, and Crystal Palace values him at £70 million, which might affect any potential transfer deal ¹ ².

Glasner’s Comments

Glasner has been vocal about the speculation surrounding Eze’s future, advising fans not to believe everything they read in the media. He emphasized that Eze is committed to Crystal Palace and will respect whatever decision the player makes regarding his future. Glasner’s comments suggest that Eze’s focus remains on helping Palace achieve a strong finish to the season ¹.

Eze’s Current Situation

Eze started for Crystal Palace in their 0-0 draw against Chelsea and is expected to play for the club in their upcoming UEFA Conference League qualifying play-off against Fredrikstad. The midfielder’s current form has been impressive, and his potential departure could significantly impact Palace’s season ¹.

Transfer Speculation

The best player in the Premier League right now? Eberechi Eze’s stats are INSANE! 15 goals and 9 assists in 27 games this season. A monster! With interest from top clubs, including Tottenham and Arsenal, Eze’s future remains uncertain. However, Glasner’s comments suggest that the player might not be swayed by bigger clubs, potentially paving the way for a longer stay at Crystal Palace ².
