Eberechi Eze is in demand in north London, while Liverpool are back in for Marc Guehi and still chasing Alexander Isak.

Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. Spurs are making progress in their talks with the Eagles and the two clubs are expected to reach an agreement in the next 48 hours.

According to reports, Thomas Frank has ‘approved’ Tottenham Hotspur’s ‘priority’ signing after Eberechi Eze as they have ‘launched a £70m bid’. Spurs have been active in this summer’s transfer window as the ninth-biggest spending club in Europe. They have invested around £120m on signings, notably Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel and Joao Pahlinha.

Pape Matar Sarr is once again set to play in the more advanced midfield role, with the deal for the 27-year-old unlikely to be done in time for the first game of the new season. That means just one change for the former Brentford manager, with Wilson Odobert coming in to replace Kevin Danso to allow Spurs to be a bit more attacking.

Football Insider has learned Tottenham are ready to blow Arsenal away as a formal Eberechi Eze bid is set to be submitted.

Arsenal have adopted a fresh stance over signing Eze amid rival interest from Tottenham and potentially paying over the odds, with Bailey claiming that a move for the England international is actually off for now.

Tottenam 'are ahead' of Arsenal for Eberechi Eze but the Gunners are 'waiting on their first choice target to make a decision before submitting a bid'.

Eberechi Eze could make Arsenal title winners, but would be afforded more game time at rivals Tottenham, admits ex-Gunner Lee Dixon.

Eberechi Eze is attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur, but a former Premier League player has urged the skillful forward to reject their advances in favour of the Gunners. Arsenal are widely expected to sign one more player before the transfer window closes, and Eze’s name continues to crop up.
