The England international made 25 goal contributions for the Eagles last season. He scored a memorable FA Cup winner against Manchester City.

He is now open to a bigger challenge with Champions League football and Romano claims that Spurs are leading the race ahead of Arsenal.

The north London side have proposed to pay £55 million plus £5m in add-ons for the 27-year-old, who recently started against Chelsea in the league.

Arsenal are also firm admirers of the talented playmaker, but they are reliant on player sales before they can afford a move for the Palace star.

Eze would ideally prefer a transfer to the Gunners over Spurs, but as things stand, he is leaning towards the latter with no approach from Arsenal.

Spurs are keen to wrap up a deal as soon as possible such that Mikel Arteta's side can't attempt to hijack the pursuit of the playmaker.
