Tottenham have moved ahead of Arsenal in the race to sign Eze of late and it was revealed over the weekend that they have agreed on personal terms with the England international.

As per the Sky reporter, Eze threatened not to play for Palace in their 0-0 draw against Chelsea, but eventually rescinded this when Steve Parish personally gave the player assurances that his transfer wouldn't be delayed.

Tottenham appear poised to secure a major transfer breakthrough in talks with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze. The clubs are engaged in direct discussions over a permanent move, expected to cost around £60million, with hopes the attacking midfielder could feature in Spurs' upcoming Premier League clash away to Manchester City.
