Further talks between Tottenham and Crystal Palace are taking place today over a transfer deal for Eberechi Eze, football.london understands. Spurs are trying to push a deal for the England international to its conclusion.

Tottenham are looking to sign a new No.10 ahead of the transfer deadline on Monday, September 1 and Eze would be a statement signing by the club. The ex-QPR man has wowed during his time at Selhurst Park, notably helping his team win the FA Cup for the first time in their history back in May after scoring the winning goal against Manchester City at Wembley.

The addition of Eze would give Spurs a major boost in the No.10 role as they currently have Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison in the treatment room. It appears that it will only be a matter of time before the 27-year-old makes the move across the capital as he did appear to say goodbye to Crystal Palace supporters following the Eagles' 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Sunday.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Palace boss Oliver Glasner did state that he expects his star man to play in Thursday's Conference League play-off tie against Norwegian side Fredrikstad. Ahead of the club's first game in Europe, Eze trained with his Crystal Palace teammates at their training base on Wednesday.

It remains a possibility that he could play in the Conference League fixture on Thursday night as the team look to put themselves in a good position to make it through to the league phase of the competition. If he is to be involved, it could give Eze the chance to say a final goodbye to Palace supporters ahead of his expected move to Tottenham.

A potential Conference League appearance for the Greenwich-born player would not impact Tottenham when it comes to Eze playing for them in the Champions League come September. UEFA.com states: "A player who has been fielded in the first, second or third qualifying round, or in the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League, is entitled to play in the Champions League, Europa League or Conference League for another club as from the league phase."

If Tottenham are to strike a quick deal for Eze a debut at Manchester City on Saturday could be a possibility. However, he would need to be registered as a Spurs player with the Premier League by midday on Friday, August 22 for him to be eligible to play the following day at the Etihad Stadium.
