Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers after Eberechi Eze chose to join Arsenal.

Eberechi Eze is close to joining Arsenal following the most dramatic turn of events, having initially agreed on a move to Spurs.

Daniel Levy is quickly having to move the club’s search for an attacking midfielder on, with Tottenham identifying Rogers as a ‘dream signing’.

It has been reported that a move for the England international will be ‘very difficult’ due to Aston Villa’s strong stance over wanting to keep him.

But following the debacle around missing out on Eze and links to Rogers, now linked with a move to N17, Spurs fans have been making their feelings very clear about the 23-year-old.

Tottenham fans demand Morgan Rogers bid after Eberechi Eze agrees to Arsenal move

Tottenham Hotspur fans are demanding that the North London club pay up the money for Morgan Rogers, with Eze expected to now join Arsenal.

On Tuesday evening, the Villa star won the PFA Young Player of the Year award following a stellar season in the Premier League.

Morgan Rogers, who is a close friend of Brennan Johnson, will be a nearly impossible deal to do, Fabrizio Romano has revealed, but Spurs have been discussing him internally.

The Lilywhites view him as the ‘perfect candidate’ for the attacking midfield role and he could be the ideal replacement target for Eze.

Villa don’t want to sell Rogers, and having already sold Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle United, Spurs would need to make a massive bid for the player.

After hearing about the links to the 23-year-old, Spurs supporters have taken to X to share their thoughts on a potential deal for him.

One fan claimed: “£140m for Morgan Rogers and Savinho. Get it done… Tottenham’s only way out of this completely embarrassing situation.”

“Now that I’ve gathered my head again, if we can somehow bring in Savinho and Rogers, the window is completely saved,” stated another Spurs fan.

There were further calls for Rogers to be signed: “If there is any player that I would spend that much on, it’s Morgan Rogers. This man would make us title contenders.”

Finally, another supporter added: “Levy now has one chance of redeeming himself. A player like Rogers will be acceptable, but otherwise, he has lost the fanbase forever. The next hours and days are crucial.”

Levy now faces a tough battle in trying to deliver adequate players for Thomas Frank’s squad, which is in desperate need of reinforcements.

Rogers would represent an elite signing for Spurs, however, actually convincing him and Villa about the transfer could be very tough.

Morgan Rogers could be the ideal Eberechi Eze alternative for Tottenham

Rogers would undoubtedly be the most ideal alternative target to Eze, following the youngster’s superb breakout campaign.

Last season, in the Premier League, he managed an impressive eight goals and 11 assists as Villa just missed out on Champions League football.

Rogers could fill two roles in Frank’s team as he can play both as a number ten and out wide on the left, which are areas Spurs are looking to fill.

Djed Spence has been one of Tottenham Hotspur’s best starters to the new campaign with solid performances against PSG and Burnley.

Recently, Spence signed a new contract, which was a reward for his impressive form over the past year, in what has been an incredible turnaround at Spurs.

This time last year, Spence was linked with a move to Genoa, however, the Italian club opted not to take up their option to make his loan move permanent.

But now the defender is a crucial player in Thomas Frank’s squad, and his recent performances could even earn him an England call-up.

Mohammed Kudus versus Djed Spence in Tottenham training

Djed Spence has been poking fun at Tottenham’s new £55m signing, Mohammed Kudus, by claiming that the winger failed to beat him once out of ten attempts in training.

Kudus looked so good against Burnley with two assists for Richarlison, but against Spurs’ defender, he couldn’t get past him in training.

Getting past Spence is tough, as Bukayo Saka and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia recently found out, with Kudus now learning how tough it is.

Mikey Moore claimed that Spence is Micky van de Ven-level fast, so finding a way to get past the full-back is very tough.

In the UEFA Super Cup against one of Europe’s best attackers, Kvaratskhelia, the 25-year-old looked impossible to beat in one-versus-one situations.

He did not get dribbled past once during the match, made two tackles and won four of his seven duels against the European champions.

Spence is Spurs’ first choice left-back option with Destiny Udogie still sidelined with an injury, but right now, the England star is doing the business.

Djed Spence on signing his new Tottenham contract

It has been quite a journey for Spence to sign this new contract at the club following loan spells in France, Italy and the Championship.

But he is now quickly establishing himself as one of the best full-backs in the country and Spurs fans are buzzing that he’s committed his future.

“I just want to keep playing well and reach higher levels. I think everyone has trials and tribulations, but I am a fighter, so I always work hard and try to do my best.

“It’s been a rollercoaster ride, but I’ve been resilient, now faster forward, and I’m here playing and I’m happy.”

TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Tottenham Hotspur have enquired about signing Bilal El Khannouss after missing out on Eberechi Eze.

Spurs were on the verge of securing the England international’s services, with a deal struck with Crystal Palace in principle to land him.

However, as TBR confirmed, Arsenal agreed terms with Palace for Eze, and the player is scheduled to undergo a medical on Friday ahead of completing his move to the Emirates.

Tottenham have already started working on other options, and El Khannouss is one of the names on their wish list.

Exclusive: Tottenham enquire about signing Bilal El Khannouss after Arsenal hijack Eberechi Eze move

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, understands that Tottenham have enquired about Leicester City star Bilal El Khannouss.

The Morocco international had a fine season for the Foxes and impressed everyone despite suffering relegation from the Premier League.

TBR exclusively revealed in July that Tottenham were among the clubs monitoring El Khannouss, but their focus shifted to Eberechi Eze.

Now, after Arsenal hijacked that deal, we can reveal that Spurs have enquired about El Khannouss’ situation again, while another attempt was made to sign Savinho from Manchester City.

Bailey told TBR: “Tottenham have enquired about the situation surrounding Bilal El Khannouss, who Crystal Palace have agreed terms with to replace Eze.

“However, despite El Khanouss agreeing to join Palace, the deal is not done.

“I have also been told that Spurs have again asked about Savinho, but they have received no encouragement from City.

“Tyler Dibling is another player on Tottenham’s radar, and Spurs have maintained an interest in him too. Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is another one they admire.

“Tottenham are working hard; they already know the market.”

Bilal El Khannouss vs Eberechi Eze stats compared

Eze was definitely the dream target for Tottenham fans.

The Englishman would’ve been perfect for them after James Maddison’s injury, but Spurs fans will now have to watch him play for Arsenal.

El Khannouss, who has been hailed as a ‘powerful’ player by The Scouting App, is not bad at all, and his numbers are decent considering that it was his first season in the Premier League and he played for a team that is now in the Championship.

Eze is clearly the better player – there’s no debate there.

However, El Khannouss is still only 21 years old and has the potential to become an absolute star in the Premier League coming years.

We’re sure Spurs fans will still prefer Eze or another big name, but El Khannouss could prove to be a very shrewd signing if they can get him.

Tottenham Hotspur’s dream of signing Eberechi Eze is all but over because of Arsenal.

Spurs have admired the Crystal Palace star for a long time, and after James Maddison’s ACL injury, Daniel Levy started talks to sign him.

Eze even held talks with Thomas Frank and had agreed to join Tottenham, but the deal flipped on its head once Arsenal made their move.

TBR Football can confirm now that Arsenal have agreed a £68 million deal to sign Eze from Crystal Palace in the coming days.

Jason Cundy gives Tottenham a new nickname after Arsenal hijack their Eberechi Eze deal

Missing out on Eberechi Eze is not a good look for Tottenham.

Spurs had already failed to land Morgan Gibbs-White in this window despite being willing to trigger his release clause at Nottingham Forest.

That angered many Tottenham fans, but the rage is at an all-time high now after Daniel Levy failed to complete a deal for Eze when Spurs were the only club in the race.

Now, to add more fuel to the fire, Jason Cundy has given Tottenham a new nickname – ‘the Newcastle of the South’.

He said on talkSPORT: “Do you know who Spurs are? You’re the Newcastle of the South!

“You are basically Newcastle. You think you’re such a big club. You both win your first trophy in a generation, you both miss out on signings, you both think you’re massive, and you both can’t get anything over the line.

“Spurs are basically just Newcastle. You’re both, basically, brothers.”

An already annoyed Jamie O’Hara replied: “Shut up, Jason, honestly!”

Tottenham could be in big trouble

Levy will say that he did everything he could to sign Eze, but this deal should’ve been wrapped up weeks ago.

Arsenal struck a deal for Eze just hours after news broke that Kai Havertz is injured. Spurs have known for a while now that James Maddison will miss a big chunk of the season after tearing his ACL.

Levy should’ve struck a deal to sign Eze just a few days after that happened, but his negotiating methods slowed the deal down and opened the door for Arsenal.

Now, with just 11 days left in the transfer window, Tottenham will have to start over again, and there is a chance that they will not find anyone who’s on Eze’s level.

That would be extremely concerning for Frank in his debut season.

Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a major blow in their summer transfer window, with Eberechi Eze set to join Arsenal in a dramatic twist of events.

TBR Football understands that Arsenal are back in for Eberechi Eze and they know that they are the winger’s dream target.

Eze looked set to join Tottenham, with the deal very close, but it now leaves the Lilywhites in a very tricky position with just 12 days left of the window.

Daniel Levy has started making calls in a bid to move on to new targets and one of their dream signings has been revealed by Fabrizio Romano.

Morgan Rogers is a dream target for Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur have started making calls for new targets and view Morgan Rogers as one of their “dream targets”, according to Romano.

However, Aston Villa want to keep Rogers, and there is a belief amongst people in football that a deal for the 23-year-old would be ‘almost impossible’.

The North London club view him as the ideal candidate after missing out on Eze and they are thinking about a move for the England international.

Romano told his YouTube channel: “They started making some calls today to try to understand the situation for new players to add to their squads.

“One of the dream targets they have at Tottenham internally is Morgan Rogers at Aston Villa, but it is seen as a very difficult deal because Villa don’t want to lose the player.

“People in the industry believe that this deal is almost impossible for Morgan Rogers, but I can tell you Tottenham are thinking about him as a perfect candidate.”

Chelsea also wanted Rogers this summer, but they have been unable to land him and have been working on a deal for Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig instead.

Tottenham are still pushing to sign Savinho from Manchester City

Romano also claims that the North London club are still pushing to sign Savinho from Manchester City.

Currently, Savinho’s move to Tottenham is being blocked by important people at City, but Spurs intend to try again for the Brazilian.

“For Savinho, don’t forget that Tottenham are still trying. It’s complicated; there are important people on Manchester City’s board who are blocking the deal and pushing to keep Savinho.

Should Spurs manage to agree a deal for the 21-year-old, City are expected to make a push for Rodrygo Goes at Real Madrid.

“Now, they have the intention to try again, so Tottenham are not giving up on Savinho. Remember, if Savinho goes to Tottenham, Man City will try really hard for Rodrygo Goes. That dominio is still on,” added the Italian journalist.

TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Eberechi Eze feels he has got the move he has always wanted after Arsenal hijacked Tottenham Hotspur’s bid to sign him.

The Crystal Palace star has had a whirlwind 24 hours.

Everything looked set for Eze to join Tottenham after Spurs struck an agreement with the Eagles, but everything changed once Arsenal made their move.

TBR can confirm now that the Gunners have reached an agreement to sign Eze.

Exclusive: Eberechi Eze is ‘really excited’ about joining Arsenal and feels he has got the move he wanted

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, understands that terms have been agreed between Arsenal and Crystal Palace for the transfer of Eberechi Eze.

We confirmed that Eze had agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur and even held talks with Thomas Frank when it looked like Arsenal weren’t going to make a move for him.

However, following Kai Havertz’s knee injury, the Gunners acted swiftly, and TBR can confirm that a deal in the region of £68 million has been struck to sign Eze.

As for the England international, we can reveal that he is ‘really excited’ about joining Arsenal – it was the move he wanted from the start and always preferred the Gunners over other interested clubs.

Bailey told TBR: “I can confirm that Arsenal have agreed terms with Palace – it is the £68 million that Tottenham were willing to do. It had just needed talks about payment terms, but they are now agreed.

“Eze will feature for Palace on Thursday before having a medical at Arsenal on Friday. That’s the plan. Whether Eze does play remains to be seen.”

Speaking about the player’s feelings, Bailey added: “Eze is really excited, it’s one of those situations where it has worked out as he wanted.

“As we know from the off, Arsenal were always Eze’s first choice. The main stumbling block was that they saw him as a 10 – it was not the fact that they did not like him. The Havertz injury has changed that.”

Eberechi Eze is set to become Arsenal’s third-most expensive signing of all time

Arsenal have spent a lot of money already in this window, and Eze is now set to become their biggest signing of the summer.

With the deal struck at £68 million, the England international will also become Arsenal’s third-most expensive signing of all time, overtaking Havertz and summer signing Martin Zubimendi.

Arsenal take on Leeds United next in the Premier League, but it is unlikely that Eze will be in the squad for that game, considering that his medical is only scheduled for Friday.

However, if the deal goes through as expected, he should make his debut against Liverpool in the final game of this month.

Arsenal are set to delight supporters by completing a move to sign Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, hijacking Tottenham Hotspur in the process.

Arsenal fans had given up hope of attacking additions earlier this week.

Reports of Leandro Trossard receiving a pay rise left supporters to believe that Arsenal’s transfer window was effectively over.

That has all changed after Kai Havertz’s injury, though, with the German forward now facing a spell on the sidelines with a knee problem.

Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta have now decided to move for a new attacker – and left Tottenham Hotspur devastated in the process.

Arsenal are set to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, with a rapid hijack on Spurs now on the verge of completion.

Eberechi Eze set to become an Arsenal hero before even kicking a ball

Tottenham were closing in on Eze as Thomas Frank looked set to make a serious statement.

Spurs have been in the market for a new playmaker this summer and locked in on Eze after Morgan Gibbs-White signed a new deal at Nottingham Forest.

Eze looked poised to join Spurs after Palace’s Europa Conference qualifier against Fredrikstad on Thursday night, but Arsenal have ruined those plans.

A former Arsenal youth prospect before being released at the age of 13, Eze previously told Rising Ballers that his ‘dream’ was to play for the Gunners.

It’s therefore little surprise to hear that Eze is now set to snub Tottenham in favour of Arsenal, with an emotional return to the Gunners now within touching distance.

The move would see Eze become an instant Arsenal hero before even kicking a ball, purely for shunning the chance to play for Tottenham in favour of a return to the red side of North London.

This isn’t quite Sol Campbell levels, but the whole situation will seriously hurt Tottenham, all while bolstering Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes.

Arsenal fans will certainly relish beating Tottenham to Eze’s signature and will love his arrival even more knowing that Spurs came so close to signing him.

Many Gunners supporters had been crying out for Eze’s arrival, believing that his creativity and maverick nature would bring something special to the Arsenal attack.

That would have already made Eze popular enough at Arsenal, but rejecting Tottenham to make the deal happen means that Eze will start his Gunners career as a fan favourite.

An Eze mural has already been spotted, with Arsenal fans making it clear that the England star is their new hero as Tottenham are left lagging behind.

Eberechi Eze agrees personal terms with Arsenal

The mural may be seen as tempting fate for many supporters, who would rather see Eze complete his medical before commemorating the deal.

After all, Eze will play for Palace against Fredrikstad on Thursday night, and an injury in that game could throw the deal into doubt.

Still, Eze looks Arsenal-bound as things stand, and The Athletic’s David Ornstein claims that Eze has now agreed personal terms.

Arsenal have agreed terms in principle with Palace, and now Eze’s side of the deal is in place as well.

There appears to be no way back for Tottenham in this transfer race, and as if missing out on him in the first place wasn’t bad enough, Spurs fans must now see him represent Arsenal instead.

Tottenham’s loss is certainly Arsenal’s gain, and Gunners fans will have genuine belief that Eze can help bring the Premier League title to the Emirates Stadium this season.

Arsenal are closing in on signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace ahead of their Europa Conference League clash with Fredrikstad.

Mikel Arteta suffered a real blow on Wednesday, as Kai Havertz picked up a knee injury which could keep him on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.

Arsenal had gone quiet on potential incoming deals, but are now set to secure a major signing.

The Gunners have pounced for Eberechi Eze, hijacking Tottenham Hotspur’s move for the Crystal Palace playmaker.

Spurs were closing in on Eze, but have now seen rivals Arsenal swoop in with a deal in light of Havertz’s injury.

Jakub Kiwior could head to Palace in return, with Arsenal now on the verge of welcoming Eze back to North London.

Eberechi Eze role in Crystal Palace’s Europa Conference League clash

Eze is no doubt itching to start his second spell at Arsenal, having previously been in their ranks as a kid.

The playmaker has been on a long journey to reach this point, but is now so close to pulling on the famous red and white shirt once more.

Eze has been busy gearing up for Crystal Palace’s next game, though, as the Eagles are in Europa Conference League action on Thursday.

After a major battle over Palace’s European involvement this season, Oliver Glasner’s side take on Fredrikstad in the first leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier.

Some may have wondered whether Arsenal’s accelerated move for Eze would see him pull out of Palace’s European clash.

However, The Athletic’s David Ornstein claims that Eze is still expected to play for Palace on Thursday night before then undergoing a medical with Arsenal.

The Gunners may have some fear over Eze picking up an injury against Fredrikstad, but Palace appear to have been firm in their stance that Eze plays.

Eze will now hope to go out on a high with Palace and push the Eagles closer to the Conference League league phase before finalising his Arsenal move.

Tottenham Hotspur moving on from Eze

The news will serve as a huge blow to Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs had already missed out on Morgan Gibbs-White after the playmaker chose to stay at Nottingham Forest.

Eze had become Tottenham’s top target, but they have now been pipped at the last minute by Arsenal.

Sky Sports now claim that Tottenham have already moved on to other targets, seemingly accepting that Eze will be joining Arsenal.

Eze looked bound for Tottenham on Wednesday morning, but that Havertz injury has completely changed the landscape and is leaving Spurs to completely reevaluate their plans once again.

Tottenham Hotspur have a lot of work to do in the final days of the summer transfer window.

The North Londoners have brought in Mohammed Kudus, Kota Takai and Joao Palhinha so far, and Daniel Levy is pushing to land Eberechi Eze now.

Spurs will still need more incomings, but they will also have to look at player sales, and there are a few who need to be moved on.

Two such players have now been offered to an overseas club.

Tottenham have offered Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil to AS Roma

Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil have no future at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Israeli international joined Spurs in the summer of 2023, but he has played just six games for the North Londoners.

Gil was signed by Tottenham back in 2021 and has played 43 times for Spurs, but he just hasn’t been able to fulfil his potential.

TBR Football confirmed recently that Tottenham have been working very hard to sell Gil, Solomon and Yves Bissouma this summer.

Now, Il Messaggero in Italy have claimed that Spurs have offered Solomon and Gil to AS Roma ‘in the last few hours’.

The Giallorossi are in talks to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United, while Jonathan Rowe of Olympique Marseille is also a target.

It remains to be seen if Roma go for Gil or Solomon, or both, ahead of the two names above, because they will likely be cheaper this summer.

Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil’s stats at Tottenham show they’ve been terrible signings

Tottenham have made several mistakes in the transfer windows over the years.

Daniel Levy deserves praise for the good things he has done at Spurs, but he needs to hold his hands up and admit that the likes of Solomon and Gil have been terrible signings.

It has been clear for a while now that Gil has no future at Tottenham, while although Solomon wanted to stay and fight for his place at Spurs, there is no space for him.

Offering the two players to Roma is a good decision by Levy, but only time will tell if the Italian side will sign either of them before the window closes.

Tottenham Hotspur look set to miss out on the signing of Manchester City winger Savinho.

Thomas Frank is looking to make a high-profile addition at left wing following the departure of Son Heung-min to LAFC earlier this summer.

Pep Guardiola has blocked Savinho’s move to Tottenham, and the winger has been informed that he is staying at Manchester City this summer.

Spurs are now having to look elsewhere for an alternative option, and their attention has turned to AS Monaco for their latest left-wing target.

Maghnes Akliouche is a good player, but an odd fit for Tottenham

Maghnes Akliouche has emerged as an alternative option to Savinho on Spurs’ list of left wing targets, according to the Independent.

The report claims that the French winger would cost around £45m, which is considerably less than the £60m plus Manchester City wanted for their Brazilian.

Last season, the 23-year-old announced himself as one of the hottest talents in France, with an impressive campaign in the French principality.

The French youth international managed seven goals and 12 assists for Monaco, as he helped them to finish third in Ligue 1 and to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.

But, whilst the French youth international can play on the left and through the middle, his best performances have come from the right wing.

The youngster played every game on the right during the 2024/25 season, a position in which Spurs now have Mohammed Kudus.

The Ghanaian has looked superb playing there, and with Eberechi Eze set to join Tottenham to play in the number ten, it is clear that only a natural left-sided player is required.

Akliouche is a really exciting talent, but he might not be the best fit for what Spurs are looking to add to their squad in the final 12 days of the window.

Tottenham should turn their attention away from Maghnes Akliouche

Ademola Lookman could be a superb fit for the left side of Tottenham’s attack, with the winger having produced 27 goal contributions last season.

TBR Football understands that Tottenham have been offered Lookman after his move to Inter Milan fell apart, as they were unwilling to pay over £43m for the Nigerian international.

Karou Mitoma could be a strong option for the Lilywhites, but Spurs might struggle to reach an agreement to get him out of Brighton so late in the window.

In February, TBR Football revealed that Mitoma wanted Champions League football, and Spurs could offer him that chance.

Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz and Morgan Rogers would be too ambitious targets, but again, they would be very tricky deals to do at this stage of the window.
