Tottenham open talks with Palace over Eze
Tottenham Hotspur are considering a dramatic move that could see Richarlison leave north London this summer. According to reports, the Brazilian forward might be offered to Crystal Palace as part of a swap deal for Eberechi Eze. Spurs opened negotiations with Palace last week, with the 25-year-old England international high on their list of attacking targets.
Richarlison linked with Everton return
Richarlison, now 28, has struggled to secure a consistent starting role since joining Spurs from Everton in 2022 for £60m. With both Antonio Conte and Ange Postecoglou limiting his impact, speculation has grown about his future. While a sensational return to Everton has been suggested, the Daily Mail reports that including him in a deal for Eze is currently seen as the most realistic option.
Eze’s stance on the transfer
Eze has reportedly made it clear to Palace officials that he would welcome a move to Tottenham, despite also being on Arsenal’s radar earlier this summer. The midfielder’s creativity and versatility make him a prime target for Spurs, who see him as a key addition to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
What this could mean for Spurs
If a swap deal materialises, it would mark the end of Richarlison’s three-year spell at Tottenham, where he never fully established himself. Bringing in Eze could give Spurs a dynamic attacking option and a symbolic victory over Arsenal in the transfer market. However, losing Richarlison may raise questions about depth in the forward line unless the club also secures reinforcements.
