Eze particularly caught the eye during Palace's journey to the FA Cup final, described as "elite" as he played a star role in Glasner's side. He'd arguably be one of the Lilywhites' biggest transfers in years at the expense of rivals Arsenal, who are long-term admirers.

The 27-year-old midfielder has been tipped to leave Selhurst Park all summer. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs most widely credited with interest in Eze, who is thought to be open to a move on the north side of the River Thames.
