4Eze is keen to move over London to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Talksport also understands that the 27-year-old’s release clause of £ 68 million is still active.
It previously thought it had expired, but it will be active until August 15th.
Tottenham is prepared to do a deal for about £ 60 million and Thomas Frank is believed to run the move.
Spurs has contacted Crystal Palace to understand the clause, if they want to trigger or match it.
Spurs is looking to strengthen his attack for James Maddison’s injury and Heung-Min’s output.
The former is set on a long spell on the side line after undergoing surgery on a broken front cruciate ligament.
At the same time, Son has left the club after a decade to join the MLS side Los Angeles FC.
As a result, Spurs has also held conversations with Manchester City for Savinho.
The Brazilians are open to join the Europa League winners but his club is unwilling to sell him.

Spurs also faces competition for Eze’s signature from their northern London drives Arsenal.

Since joining the Palace 2020, Eze has scored 40 goals and given 28 assists in 168 performances for the club.
He also helped add community shield to their FA Cup triumph by beating Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Palace’s Eze Stance
After the match, Chairman Steve Parish acknowledged that the club can never exclude selling its players.
It comes in the middle of speculation about Marc Guehi’s future, with the defender into the last year of his business.
Parish explained, via ESPN: “I think in the end people are shopping players. That’s what football clubs do.
4“If you just don’t care about reviving the team, you don’t care about tomorrow, ever, you just put everything.
“Then we are a fantastic team, you know and if we had four more players I do not know what we could achieve but unfortunately it is not always as simple as that.”
Who will Eze join?
Former Spurs -man Alan Pardew has also urged Eze to stumble Arsenal in favor of his old side.
When asked who Eze would go from Spurs or Arsenal, Talksport-Co-host explained: “My Arsenal friends, all of June (SA) if they get the right number nine, they have a great chance to win the league and I agree with it.
“Would Eze take them closer to that title? Possibly but I think they have enough quality with everyone there.
“So that’s why I’ve answered your question.”
