Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner expects Eberechi Eze to feature in the club's first European fixture, despite being in talks over a move to Tottenham.

Should Eze depart Palace, the Eagles will pocket a significant profit on a player they signed from Queens Park Rangers for around £17 million in 2020. He’s since gone on to make 167 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 40 goals, becoming a talismanic figure after the departure of Wilfried Zaha to Galatasaray in 2023.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Talks between Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur are not as advanced as expected. Oliver Glasner and Eberechi Eze have agreed that Eze will make himself available for the Chelsea game to help his teammates in the London derby.
