Eze, 27, has been on Tottenham’s radar for some time. His performances last season — 14 goals and 11 assists — have made him one of the most creative players in the Premier League.
Spurs see him as the ideal man to fill the gap left by James Maddison’s injury.
The England international is said to be open to joining Tottenham. Champions League football and staying in London are both big pulls.
Sources claim personal terms would not be a problem if the two clubs can agree on a fee.

Why Tottenham want to sign Eberechi Eze?
Eze’s versatility is a major reason for Tottenham’s interest. He can play as a No.10, cut in from the left, or even push further forward.
His ability to glide past defenders and pick out a killer pass makes him a natural fit for Thomas Frank’s system.
Spurs also like his proven track record in big games. Eze scored the winner in last season’s FA Cup final against Manchester City, adding another medal to his name. It’s the kind of composure under pressure that Tottenham feel they need.
The main hurdle is cost. Eze has a £68 million release clause, but Spurs reportedly hope to agree a deal closer to £55m. Palace may resist dropping their price, even after the clause expires.
Arsenal still hold interest but are weighing their options. That hesitation could give Tottenham a clear run. With the summer window ticking down, Spurs appear keen to strike before the Gunners step up.
