Crystal Palace manager says Eberechi Eze did not indicate a farewell and transfer talks with Tottenham continue.
Glasner denies goodbye wave as Tottenham links heat up
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said Eberechi Eze did not signal a farewell to Palace fans after the season opener against Chelsea. The midfielder remains at the center of transfer discussions with Tottenham, with fee talks ongoing after his release clause expired last Friday. Eze started the match and saw his free kick ruled out by VAR, playing 84 minutes before being substituted.
Palace and Spurs are negotiating a transfer fee, while Eze remains with Palace for now as the window moves forward. Glasner noted that Eze is expected to feature in midweek action in the Conference League and will return to training after a day off, suggesting the player could still be part of Palace’s plans for now as talks continue. The club also faces potential changes around other players as the market moves toward its close, with Liverpool reportedly weighing interest in defender Marc Guehi and questions about contract situations for other squad members.
Key Takeaways
"No."
Glasner was asked if Eze's gesture could be a goodbye to the club
"I don't know, but I think it was not a goodbye wave"
Glasner on whether the moment signaled departure
"Eb should have scored a goal today, he had one and it was disallowed"
Glasner on Eze's performance in the match
"He will come tomorrow to the Crystal Palace training ground, Tuesday off, we take Wednesday and I expect him to be back playing for us against Fredrikstad"
Update on Eze's return and midweek plan
The situation highlights the delicate balance clubs strike between maximizing value and keeping a core group coherent. Eze is a key creative asset for Palace, and any move would reshape the team’s attacking dynamic. Glasner’s blunt dismissal of a goodbye wave appears designed to limit disruption and manage expectations, signaling that the decision rests with market conditions rather than a single moment on the pitch.
Beyond Eze, the transfer window brings price tension and strategic risk. If Palace sells high, they must replace him with equal quality quickly; if not, they risk fan scrutiny and a crowded rumor mill. The broader market shows a Premier League where talent moves are priced into the season’s ambitions, and managers must navigate both on field results and off field negotiations.
Highlights
- Claps at full time do not decide a career move
- The window is open and talk is louder than the whistle
- Palace need Eze in their plans not a rumor mill
- Timing matters more than a farewell wave
Financial sensitivity around Eze transfer
The piece discusses a high value transfer and ongoing fee negotiations, which could affect club finances and fan sentiment during the transfer window.
The transfer window acts like a pressure valve for both clubs and players as weeks wind down.
