Wednesday evening, all hell broke loose in Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze. Reports over the past several days had said that negotiations between the two clubs were progressing and that an agreement for the 27-year-old England international was almost guaranteed.

Tottenham Hotspur are trying to get Maghnes Akliouche and one other attacker in, as the club was left scrambling to find a solution after being gazumped by Arsenal for Eberechi Eze.There is genuine shock at White Hart Lane about how the transfer played out,

Exactly three months ago, Tottenham Hotspur won their first piece of silverware in 17 years. Beating Manchester United in the Europa League final, securing qualification for this season’s Champions League in the process, was supposed to transform the mood around the club and, for a brief time, it did.

Last night the Gunners agreed a deal in principle to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, snatching the England international from under the nose of Tottenham, who appeared to be on the brink of a deal. Arsenal have been crying out for attacking ...

The Standard believe Arsenal need to have the Londoner registered to feature in the Premier League before 12pm on Friday for the 27-year-old to be eligible to face Leeds United. Eze must also – of course – pass his medical, which is set to take place after the aforementioned UEFA Conference League clash.

Ex-Arsenal and Tottenham defender William Gallas has suggested Eberechi Eze chose the Gunners as "he wants to get his hand on more trophies".

Eberechi Eze trained with Crystal Palace on Wednesday as Tottenham attempt to wrap up a deal for the 27-year-old England midfielder. With Spurs set for a fresh round of talks with Palace, Eze trained with the Palace squad ahead of their Conference League play-off first leg against Fredrikstad.

Oliver Glasner says Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze will start for Crystal Palace in their Conference League play-off match with Fredrikstad on Thursday.
