Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace and Spurs
Digest more
Eberechi Eze is in demand in north London, while Liverpool are back in for Marc Guehi and still chasing Alexander Isak.
It has been all change for Tottenham this summer. A new manager in Thomas Frank. A new captain in Cristian Romero after Son Heung-min swapped London for LA. Mohamed Kudus became the new face of the attack following his move from West Ham, while Joao Palhinha has also returned to the Premier League to add some steel to the Spurs midfield.
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.
Sociedad are prepared to sanction Kubo's sale if clubs are willing to stump up at least €70m (£60m) for the Japanese winger. He's a pacey forward whose dribbling abilities have caused problems for defences in La Liga since arriving in July 2022.
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.
