Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are among the top clubs interested in signing Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and are keeping close tabs on his progress.
This is according to former Man United, Tottenham and Aston Villa scout Mick Brown, who revealed exclusively to Football Insider that interested clubs are looking to see him step his performances up before they make a move for his signature.
It has been a slow start to the season for Eze and for Palace, with questions emerging about the 26-year-old’s consistency and ability to step up.
With just one goal and no assists in seven Premier League games so far, with the Eagles still winless, the attacking midfielder’s dip in form has raised red flags.
Scouts from England’s top clubs have been watching his progress closely since his move to Selhurst Park, and are now waiting for him to prove he can make the step up.
However, there is recognition among top clubs that he would thrive in a title-challenging side when surrounded by other elite players who can get the best out of him.
This comes after Football Insider revealed that Liverpool are closely monitoring his progress with a move in mind for the summer of 2025.

Tottenham and Newcastle have also shown an interest in signing Eze, but no official bids arrived for the Palace star during the summer transfer window.
Brown, who has a wealth of experience working as a senior scout for some of England’s top clubs including over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, insisted clubs will be looking for Eze to prove he can step up when needed.
“I’ve heard there are questions about Eze’s consistency,” he told Football Insider.
“We know what he’s capable of, he’s shown he can be top quality, but he needs to show it every week.
“I know the top clubs – Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool are all interested in a move and they’re keeping a close eye on him.
“If you can feed him, he’ll thrive. If he’s not getting that at Palace, he’d be getting it at the top clubs.
“With no disrespect to Palace, the players will be focusing on their own performances without also having to think they need to feed Eze.
“I think the type of team he has to be in is one of those top clubs to help him hit the top level.
“If you’re a talented player at these types of clubs, they’ll happily feed you the ball, but they also expect you to do the business consistently.
“That’s what the scouts will be looking for when they’re watching him at Palace.”
