Tottenham will need to move quickly this summer if they are to secure the signature of Eberechi Eze.
The North London side have long been keen to sign the Crystal Palace star, with Thomas Frank looking to strengthen his squad ahead of next season.
It’s an important window for the Lilywhites, but their pursuit of Eze could now be in doubt following a major twist in the transfer saga at Arsenal.
Eze’s future takes another twist with Arsenal now showing interest
Arsenal have now entered the race for Eze, joining local rivals Tottenham in the pursuit of the Crystal Palace star, according to Alex Crook.
The Gunners are making significant moves in the transfer market and have added the England international to their shortlist of left-wing targets.

The 26-year-old has a release clause of around £68 million in his contract, cheaper than a possible deal for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo at The Emirates.
The winger has delivered an impressive return of 40 goals and 28 assists in 167 appearances across all competitions for Palace.
Widely regarded as one of the brightest talents in the league, Eze is a priority target for Tottenham as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of next season.
Frank will be raging with Daniel Levy already
Daniel Levy will need to move quickly in the transfer window this summer, with rivals already strengthening ahead of next season.
Tottenham have completed the permanent signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, though that deal always looked likely following his loan spell during the latter part of last season.
If they fail to secure the right signings, it could be a difficult first campaign for Frank, with high expectations to deliver results and silverware already placing pressure on the new manager.
However, if he’s able to bring in the players he wants, the Danish coach could well add to the recent success and guide Tottenham to more silverware.
If Arsenal step in for Eze, though, Levy will only face more pelters, not just from his fans, but his new manager too.
