Eberechi Eze is in Crystal Palace ’s starting line-up to face Chelsea on Sunday. Standard Sport understands Oliver Glasner was set to leave him out of the squad on Saturday night with a move to Tottenham well in the works.

Eberechi Eze will start Crystal Palace ’s opening Premier League fixture against Chelsea despite strong links connecting the forward with a move to Tottenham. The Independent understands that talks are progressing over a deal worth £55m plus add-ons for Eze to move to Spurs after a summer of speculation over the England international’s future.

Oliver Glasner has praised Eze's professionalism but offered no guarantees he would remain at the club beyond the September 1 deadline.
