Eberechi Eze's replacements? Crystal Palace approach two attackers with talks ongoing to sell England star to Tottenham

Tottenham have stepped up their pursuit of Eze, who has informed Palace of his desire to leave. In anticipation, Palace have made contact with Brugge over Tzolis and Leicester regarding El Khannouss, per The Athletic. While a first bid for Tzolis was rejected, the Eagles plan to return with an improved offer as they are remain in talks with Brugge.

Eze’s departure would be a huge blow to the Eagles given his influence on the team. As such, Crystal Palace are determined to soften the impact by securing a creative replacement before the window closes. Both Tzolis and El Khannouss are viewed as players who can add flair and goals to Oliver Glasner’s squad.

Tzolis was outstanding for Brugge last season with 21 goals and 14 assists. He has already registered three goals and two assists this campaign, making him a valuable but costly target. El Khannouss, meanwhile, is highly rated in Belgium and Morocco and would offer Crystal Palace a long-term attacking option.

Tottenham remain in talks with Crystal Palace to finalise Eze’s transfer over the next week or so. Meanwhile, the Eagles are expected to table an improved bid for Tzolis while continuing discussions for El Khannouss.
