Crystal Palace line-up move for new Eberechi Eze replacement from Premier League rivals as Tottenham close in on deal for England international

Eberechi Eze

Crystal Palace have already identified Eberechi Eze's replacement as the England international is all set to complete his transfer to Totteham Hotspur. Spurs and Palace are in advanced negotiations as they look to thrash out the final details of Eze's move to north London. With Eze's departure now all but confirmed, the Eagles will have to sign his replacement before the summer window closes.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Sky Sport CH reported earlier on Monday that a transfer fee of around £60 million (€69.5m/$81.2m) is expected to be agreed between Spurs and Palace. Eze has already settled on personal terms with the North London side on a contract until 2030 and now looks set to join the Europa League holders and play Champions League football for the first time in his career.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With Eze's transfer now almost confirmed, Crystal Palace have started to look for the English midfielder's replacement and have set their eyes on Wolves' Hwang Hee-chan, whom they want on a season-long loan deal before the transfer window closes, according to SunSport.

Other than the South Korea international, the Eagles are also eyeing a move for Leicester's Bilal El Khannouss, while Club Brugge star Christos Tzolis is also on their shortlist.
