Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are among the top clubs interested in signing Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and are keeping close tabs on his progress.
This is according to former Man United, Tottenham and Aston Villa scout Mick Brown, who revealed exclusively to Football Insider that interested clubs are looking to see him step his performances up before they make a move for his signature.
It has been a slow start to the season for Eze and for Palace, with questions emerging about the 26-year-old’s consistency and ability to step up.
With just one goal and no assists in seven Premier League games so far, with the Eagles still winless, the attacking midfielder’s dip in form has raised red flags.
Scouts from England’s top clubs have been watching his progress closely since his move to Selhurst Park, and are now waiting for him to prove he can make the step up.
However, there is recognition among top clubs that he would thrive in a title-challenging side when surrounded by other elite players who can get the best out of him.
