Eberechi Eze Next Club Odds: Man Utd Favourites To Sign Eagles Midfielder

With less than a week of the January transfer window remaining, the best betting sites anticipate plenty of movement between now and Thursday’s deadline. 

Eberechi Eze is one player being linked with a move to one of Europe’s top clubs, even though Crystal Palace are unlikely to sell until the summer. 

But it is surely only a matter of time before the attacking midfielder seeks pastures new. 

Eze has impressed for much of the campaign, even in an uninspiring Palace team, while his club form was rewarded with two England caps in 2023. 

He could yet earn a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the European Championship, which would only increase the likelihood of a big-money switch at some point this year.

Often assumed to be younger than he is, Eze in fact turns 26 in June. 

Although his contract at Selhurst Park does not expire until 2027, Palace may need to begin preparing for life after Eze. But where will he go next? Let’s take a look at the former Queens Park Rangers man’s options.

Manchester United In Pole Position To Land Eze

Manchester United have signed two of Crystal Palace’s star players in recent years, acquiring Wilfried Zaha in 2013 and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in 2019. 

They could be poised to make a move for Eze in the coming months, with betting apps making them the favourites at Evens.

United would certainly benefit from the addition of a player in Eze’s mould.

They have struggled to score goals all season long and further sources of creativity will be required if Erik ten Hag’s team are to get back on track.

United’s recruitment process will be overseen by INEOS going forward. 

It remains to be seen how the new investors will judge potential recruits, but Eze is likely to appeal.

Chelsea Not Afraid To Splash The Cash Under Boehly

Chelsea have spent more than £1 billion in three transfer windows under Todd Boehly’s ownership. 

There are no indications that a change of strategy is in the offing, with Chelsea set to continue splashing the cash on young players with potential.

Eze is now in his mid-20s but he would still be a smart pick-up for the Blues, who are priced at 9/4. 

The Palace schemer has Premier League experience, while he may value the chance to stay in his hometown of London.

The main doubt is whether Chelsea will have other transfer priorities come the summer.

Arsenal Will Look To Strengthen Again In The Summer

Arsenal have made great progress under Mikel Arteta, but the job is not done yet. 

Winning a Premier League title is the next objective and we can expect the Gunners to invest in their squad this summer whether or not that goal is achieved in 2023/24.

Martin Odegaard is Arsenal’s creator-in-chief but he could do with more support. 

The jury is still out on Kai Havertz following his move from Chelsea last summer, while Thomas Partey continues to struggle with injuries.

Could Eze be the answer? Arsenal are available at odds of 7/2 to land the England international.

Tottenham Would Value Eze’s Invention In Central Areas

Ange Postecoglou has transformed Tottenham Hotspur and there is a feeling of optimism and positivity in the white-and-navy half of north London again.

With the Australian's attack-minded, forward-thinking style of play delighting a set of supporters that did not really enjoy the fare offered up by Nuno Espirito Santo, Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte.

Eze would be a natural fit for this new-look Tottenham, who can be backed in this market at 5/1 on football betting sites.

However, it remains to be seen whether even Postecoglou could field an XI containing both the Palace star and James Maddison in playmaking roles.

Borussia Dortmund And Liverpool Only Outsiders For Now

Borussia Dortmund have often looked to English football in recent years, bringing in the likes of Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham to great effect. 

Eze could be next on their wish list, but a lengthier price of 9/1 indicates that BVB may struggle to outbid the biggest Premier League outfits.

As for Liverpool, there is not currently any indication that they are weighing up an offer - as a price of 14/1 with new betting sites suggests. 

Eze is perhaps not a natural tactical fit for a Jurgen Klopp team, while Liverpool may look to strengthen other areas of their squad this summer once Klopp departs Anfield.
