On Thursday, Crystal Palace will face Fredrikstad. Anything but what manager Oliver Glasner wanted after winning FA Cup and Europa League tickets last season, but UEFA relegated the London club to the Conference League due to ownership in both Lyon and Palace, with Palace drawing the short straw. Glasner at least thought he would get one of his biggest stars with him despite Tottenham’s persistent efforts. Now Glanser also loses his key player.
Tottenham have been heavily linked with Eberechi Eze in recent weeks, but Glasner himself has this week thought Eze is in the game against Fredrikstad. According to Sky Sports, the 27-year-old has probably played his last Palace game.

The attacking midfielder with twelve appearances for the England national team is reported to be well on his way to Spurs this week. The English media claim Tottenham and Palace are in the final stages of negotiations, where the final details of Eze’s transfer to north London will fall into place.
Eze played 84 minutes against Chelsea on Sunday, struck with a fantastic free-kick (was annulled by the video assistant referee at Stamford Bridge), now an agreement is expected on a transfer to Tottenham on the match-winner from the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
The transfer fee ends at around £60 million, Eze has already struck a personal deal with Spurs until 2030, and now looks set to play Champions League football for the first time in his career.
