Liverpool and Chelsea are in race to sign Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze. And reportedly held talks about the midfielder this week.
Chelsea Increase Pursuit of Eberechi Eze
Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed Chelsea are thought to have rekindled their interest in signing Eberechi Eze. In addition, internal talks are taking place this week regarding a potential move. The Blues have admired the Crystal Palace star for some time. But, reports suggest they now believe a summer deal is more possible than ever. As Palace will be under pressure to sell their best players, the Blues are monitoring Eze, and for good reason.
The England international has shown he is capable of stepping up to the next level. The 26-year-old has already shown his creativity, flair, and the ability to affect games. That is something Chelsea’s young squad is sorely lacking.
Fans want the west London club to buy more players with quality this June. Meanwhile, many of their recent signings are still adjusting to the Premier League. However, Eze could come in straight away and contribute at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool Rivalry Could Complicate The Deal
While Chelsea are hopeful of landing Eze, they’re not alone in the race. Liverpool are also reportedly interested in the England international. And some insiders believe the midfielder would prefer a move to Anfield.
Former Premier League scout Mick Brown recently claimed that Eze is more likely to join Liverpool than other big-name clubs. That could put the Blues in a tough spot. The Reds’ status as a Champions League regular and their current squad’s balance may appeal more to him. He surely will want to take the next step in his career.
That said, Chelsea’s project is different. It is based around youth and potential, and could still provide him with the challenge and role he is seeking. The summer transfer window is coming up, and the race for Eze’s signature is about to heat up. So, it will undoubtedly be one of the transfer sagas to watch.
