Crystal Palace chiefs believe they can sign Newcastle playmaker

Crystal Palace may be forced to sell Eberechi Eze this summer, but they have already lined up a replacement from a Premier League rival.

Eze has attracted strong interest from the likes of Man City and Tottenham, and with a reported £60m release clause in his contract, Crystal Palace would be unable to stop him leaving if that is activated. As such, the club’s sporting department has been forced to line up replacements.

And one player that has been added to their shortlist in recent weeks is Newcastle’s Joe Willock.
