Tottenham may ultimately benefit from Arsenal signing Eberechi Eze.
Eze looked set to join the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium outfit until Arsenal swooped in to seal an agreement this week.
Thomas Frank and Co. have been left scrambling, looking for alternatives, with just under two weeks left in the transfer window.
However, they could come out on top after a new bombshell emerged on Morgan Rogers from Hotspur Way.
Tottenham make Morgan Rogers approach
Tottenham need to make a splash after losing out on Eze; otherwise, they will be left looking inept after also missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White.

The Independent journalist Miguel Delaney claimed on 21 August that Spurs have made contact over a move for the Villans ace.
He stated that figures around the £80million mark have been mentioned amongst the Lilywhites hierarchy, but it may take an even bigger sum.
How does Tottenham target Rogers compare to Eze?
Rogers and Eze are both very talented players, and both will likely make their mark if their moves to North London are completed.
The new Spurs target is arguably the better of the two players, though, and he definitely represents better value for money.
The 22-year-old has plenty of time left at the top, whereas at 27, Eze may only have a few seasons left at his best level.
Rogers is pretty much already at the same level as Eze, as he ranks above the new Gunners star in several key metrics for wingers.
The Villa ace is above his compatriot for progressive carries, dribbles completed, and assists, while the Palace star takes the win for non-penalty goals and assists and crosses completed.
Overall, they are fairly similar, but given Rogers’ age and potential to go to another level, he is the better option.
Can Tottenham afford Morgan Rogers deal?
Well, Daniel Levy has made it clear that he is willing to spend this summer.
Spurs were able to drop £68m on Eze, but their arch rivals swooped in at the last minute to steal the deal.
Given that Rogers would likely cost around the £90-£100m mark, that is surely a sacrifice that Levy and Co would want to make to get one over on the Gunners.
