Oliver Glasner has now handed Tottenham a blow by revealing what he expects Eberechi Eze to do at Crystal Palace this week.
Over the last few days, an increasing number of reports have claimed that Tottenham had agreed personal terms with Eze and were pushing forward with negotiations over Crystal Palace.
Some outlets even suggested that Eze may not feature for Palace against Chelsea as he is close to completing a switch to N17.
However, the attacking midfielder did start at Stamford Bridge and played 84 minutes as the Eagles held the Blues to a 0-0 draw.
Oliver Glasner expects Eze to play again on Thursday
Spurs fans would have been hoping to see Eze in a Palace shirt for the last time, and that the player would complete a move to N17 over the coming days.
However, Glasner has now made it clear that he expects the Tottenham target to be involved in his side’s UEFA Conference League opener against Fredrikstad on Thursday.
Speaking after his side’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea, the Austrian manager told Sky Sports (17/08/25): “Ebs should have scored a goal today, he had one and it was disallowed.
“He will come tomorrow to the Crystal Palace training ground, Tuesday off, we take Wednesday, and I expect him to be back playing for us against Fredrikstad.”
Tottenham remain confident of landing Eberechi Eze
Despite Glasner’s assertion, it has been reported over recent hours that sources at Spurs remain confident of completing a deal for Eze.
It has been alleged that Arsenal are not pursuing a deal for Eze any longer as they are prioritising landing a left-winger over a number 10.
That means that Tottenham Hotspur potentially have a free run at the former QPR man and we await to see if they can agree a fee with the South London club.
