Eberechi Eze: Big update on release clause as Man City and Tottenham swoop
Crystal Palace will have to fight off interest in Eberechi Eze if they want to keep hold of the attacking midfielder this summer.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed there have been conflicting reports over whether Eze has a release clause in his deal.
The England international signed a new contract with the Eagles last November to keep him at Selhurst Park until 2027.
O’Rourke revealed Manchester City have previously expressed an interest in signing the 25-year-old, while Tottenham are monitoring his situation in south London.
