TOTTENHAM's stance on a stunning triple deal that would see them land Eberechi Eze and Yoane Wissa in exchange for Richarlison has been revealed.
Tottenham were believed to be near a breakthrough with a deal in the region of £60million for Eze close to being agreed.
But Arsenal have swooped in at the last minute and are now expected to nick the Crystal Palace star from under their fierce rivals' noses.
Following an issue with payment conditions that was delaying the move Spurs had lined up for Eze, it was reported the North Londoners had made a late alteration by offering to send Richarlison to Selhurst Park in a part-exchange.
If the Eagles were to agree to this cash-plus-player deal, Spurs would then reportedly move to sign wantaway Brentford star Wissa, who is valued by the Bees at £50m-£60m.
But SunSport understands Spurs are not considering a deal of this nature.
The club are also happy with Richarlison despite being prepared to sell him in previous windows - with a sale of the 28-year-old now only being considered if a big bid arrives.
Wissa has been the subject of heavy interest from Newcastle this summer and earlier today the Magpies submitted an improved £35m plus £5m bid to sign him, which was rejected.
Spurs are admirers of the 28-year-old, but Thomas Frank is happy with his strikeforce and would only move for his former star if a forward exit were to occur.
Newcastle remain the frontrunners in any Wissa deal, despite seeing their latest offer rejected.

Wissa's camp are said to have been left angry over the Bees' knock-back to Toon's latest offer, having been waiting for an agreement to be reached for over three weeks.
And sources indicate Wissa has his heart set on a move to St James' Park.
This late complication for the Eze deal could allow Arsenal back into the race.
The Gunners have stepped up their search for a new attacker following news that Kai Havertz has picked up a knee injury.
Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers is a target, as exclusively revealed by SunSport, though Aston Villa are under no pressure to sell.
