About this episode

The future of England and Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze has been one of the major talking points of the current transfer window.

It had been thought he would join Tottenham, with a deal agreed between the clubs until their biggest rivals in North London, Arsenal, also reached an agreement with Palace.

Eze started his youth career with Arsenal, and has been one of Palace’s key players and helped them to win the FA Cup last season.

John Bennett is joined by former Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly and Crystal Palace forward Kwesi Appiah as they give their perspectives.
