Eberechi Eze will start for Crystal Palace in their Conference League play-off clash on Thursday, despite ongoing transfer talks with Tottenham. The Palace star was on show during Palace’s public training session earlier on Wednesday, and manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed Eze will start against Fredrikstad tomorrow night.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly closing in on a deal for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, following rounds of talks involving Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and his south London counterpart Steve Parish.

Eberechi Eze is a fantastic all-around attacker, but Spurs specifically need a set-piece and long-range specialist, and he just so happens to be one of the best at both.
