Eberechi Eze is expected to play for Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener against Chelsea. Standard Sport understands that the Eagles star is expected to feature at Stamford Bridge despite Tottenham stepping up their pursuit of the 27-year-old.

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

Tottenham Hotspur will step up talks for Eberechi Eze in the next 48 hours, with the England forward set to miss Crystal Palace’s opener this weekend as a move edges closer.
