Eberechi Eze scored twice to inflict a 2-0 defeat on Tottenham.
The England international scored in each half to secure victory for Crystal Palace in N17 – a first away win in the league for the Eagles over Spurs since 1997.
TBR Football understand Tottenham are keen to sign Eze as he continues to go from strength to strength at Crystal Palace.
The man from Greenwich has now scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists in 40 appearances across all competitions this season.
As Eberechi Eze prepared to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, he generously signed a few matchday programmes for Spurs fans, who urged him to join their beloved club.

It may have simply been a nice way for Eze to say “I can’t answer that” to the supporter in question, although previous rumours suggest there could be more to it.
Spurs are in a strong position to sign Eberechi Eze
Tottenham arranged a private box for Eze and his entourage last season, interestingly on the day Crystal Palace travelled to N17 for an away day.
Tom Allnutt of The Times told The Tottenham Way podcast: “It was interesting to me that Eze and his entourage had basically a full box to themselves at Tottenham. I don’t know if that’s entirely normal for an opposition player to have a whole suite of their friends and family and presumably, a couple of agents. I know Eze belongs to (CAA) Base who are an agency very connected with Spurs, but I did wonder if there was a bit of wooing going on there.”

As Allnutt mentions, the 26-year-old is represented by CAA Base, who have strong ties to Spurs.
The agency also manage Ange Postecoglou, Richarlison, James Maddison, Pedro Porro, Heung-min Son, Pape Sarr and Djed Spence, so if Eze does end up moving to Tottenham, it would not surprise us one bit.
