Eberechi Eze showed his class at the weekend when he scored the winning goal to secure Crystal Palace’s first major trophy in the form of the FA Cup.
However, he is expected to leave Selhurst Park in the summer, with several Premier League sides interested in snapping up the attacking midfielder.
Liverpool have been interested in getting their hands on him, but according to CaughtOffSide, they are yet to make any contact to try and sign him in the upcoming transfer window.
Tottenham and Nottingham Forest are the two clubs who are pushing to sign a player who has a £70m release clause in his contract, which needs to be paid in full.
Spurs are trying to explore other payment options as they cannot afford to pay up £70m up front for a player this summer.
Forest are pushing to sign Eze, and are trying to lure him to the City Ground with the prospect of playing Champions League football next season.
