Crystal Palace could be without Eberechi Eze for their Premier League opener against Chelsea due to transfer speculation, according to reports.

Eberechi Eze has attracted interest from Arsenal and Tottenham this summer and the Crystal Palace star appears to be closing in on a move to Spurs, despite his release clause expiring

Arsenal legend Lee Dixon believes that Eberechi Eze could be a ‘title decider’ if he puts pen to paper with his former side. The playmaker has been heavily linked with a move away from Crystal Palace in recent weeks, with the Gunners and Tottenham keen to acquire his services.
