Fabrizio Romano has revealed that despite reports to the contrary over the last 24 hours, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace have not yet reached a full agreement on Eberechi Eze.
It was revealed by Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe that Spurs and Palace have reached a verbal agreement on a fee for Eze.
This information was subsequently backed up by The Sun, who claimed that Tottenham had agreed a deal of just over £60m for Eze, with the Lilywhites agreeing to pay half of that fee upfront.
However, it has now been claimed that there are still a few minor points of difference between the two London sides.
Fabrizio Romano reveals Eberechi Eze to Tottenham is close but not done
Fabrizio Romano has revealed on his YouTube channel that, according to his sources, there is still no total agreement between Spurs and Palace over Eze.
He says that an agreement is close, with the two clubs continuing talks. He explains that there are some minor details about the structure of the deal which have to be ironed out.
However, the Italian journalist adds that in his opinion, the deal will get done and the England international will be a Tottenham Hotspur player sooner rather than later.
Crystal Palace want to first sign an Eze replacement
In the video, Romano also adds that another reason the deal is getting held up is due to Palace wanting to sign a replacement for the 27-year-old, which they are currently working on.
Some sources have suggested over recent days that Palace will use Tottenham’s upfront payment for Eberechi Eze to pursue Bilal El Khannouss.
It thus appears that the Lilywhites might have to wait for the Eagles to get a deal for the Moroccan over the line before they can bring Eze through the door.
