Eberechi Eze is understood to be closing in on a move to Tottenham.
The PA news agency understands the England international has reached an agreement with current club Crystal Palace that he will not play for them at Chelsea on Sunday.
Eze was a critical player as Palace won the FA Cup last season and also featured as the Eagles saw off Liverpool to lift the Community Shield last weekend.
The 27-year-old – who has long been linked with a move across London – joined Palace in 2020 from QPR and has gone on to win 11 England caps.
