Tottenham Hotspur are considering battling Arsenal in the race to sign Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze, a source has told ESPN.

Tottenham opened talks with Crystal Palace over a deal for Eze on Tuesday, with Frank keen to bolster his attacking ranks following injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Frank, speaking to the media in Italy, wouldn't comment on the 27-year-old's future as his side prepares for the Uefa Super Cup final against PSG.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will activate the clause or attempt to negotiate a more favourable deal, but the Europa League champions are determined to sign Eze, who scored 14 times and produced 11 assists in 43 appearances during the 2024-25 season.
