EPL transfer: Manchester City target Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze

Manchester City’s summer transfer plans have taken an intriguing turn as they set their sights on Crystal Palace midfielder, Eberechi Eze.

City’s interest in Eze has intensified in the final days of the transfer window, with reports suggesting that the Premier League champions are keen on bringing the talented midfielder on board.

The shift in focus towards Eze comes after Manchester City’s pursuit of Lucas Paqueta from West Ham fell through. As the team seeks to bolster its ranks, Eze has emerged as a prime candidate to provide valuable depth, particularly in light of Kevin De Bruyne’s injury.

According to Daily Mail, City’s scouts have provided positive feedback on the 25-year-old’s capabilities. This has prompted the Manchester-based club to seriously consider making an official bid for Eze.

Earlier, City was prepared to invest £85 million in securing Lucas Paqueta’s services from West Ham. However, since that deal couldn’t be completed, the attention has now turned towards Eze, who is valued at approximately £70 million. Eze has two years remaining on his contract with Crystal Palace, further adding to his appeal as a potential acquisition.
