WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It has been reported for several months that Eze, who turned 27 on Sunday, has a release clause of £68m which is likely to be demanded by Palace to any potential suitors. Spurs have long been cited as having an interest in the England international, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-scholes-sends-strong-eberechi-eze-transfer-message-to-man-utd-crystal-palace-winger-lively-display-england-senegal/blt8f176d819fa7bd91#cs0ae59b800c1e2dc2" target="_blank">along with Manchester United,</a> Aston Villa, and more. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-tottenham-eberechi-eze-gunners-crystal-palace-rodrygo/blt3a4e7deeeb09a114" target="_blank">Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are the latest to join the race</a> and are moving quickly as they aim to secure one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Eze signed for the Eagles in August 2020 for around £17m after breaking through at QPR in the Championship. A 20% sell-on clause was inserted into the deal, meaning QPR could receive a windfall of over £10m if a big-money transfer for Eze is to go through.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Eze is expected to leave this summer, as he aims to challenge himself at the highest level in the prime years of his career. A move could go through regardless of whether <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/why-crystal-palace-europa-league-fate-balance-john-textor-lyon-relegation-ligue-2-explained/blt2aab6097705bf3cc" target="_blank">Palace are admitted into the Europa League</a>, but rejection from the competition could seal Eze's fate.</p>
