EBERECHI EZE was left awkwardly laughing live on TV after overhearing a comment from a Sky Sports News reporter. The Crystal Palace star is expected to swap south for north and join Tottenham

Romero joined Spurs from Juventus in summer 2021, in a deal worth €55million (£47.4m; $64.3m at current rates), and has been a mainstay at the heart of defence under former head coaches Nuno Espirito Santo, Antonio Conte and Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham remain in talks with Crystal Palace over a move for playmaker Eberechi Eze and there is a 'good chance' of a deal, per David Ornstein.

EBERECHI EZE could still play in Crystal Palace’s European opener - as his proposed move to Tottenham drags on. Spurs are pushing hard to sign the England star, 27. And while it is believed a deal worth in the region of £60million is close, it is understood there remains a sticking point over payment conditions.
