Arsenal were pursuing Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze before Tottenham decided to pursue the winger.
Although Arsenal were in the pursuit for Crystal Palace winge Eberechi Eze, attention has switched to Tottenham. Thomas Frank, the Spurs boss, was asked about Eze, and he said: “We are definitely in the market. I said it before, Daniel and Johan and Vinai are working relentlessly to try to do their best to improve the squad, but we only want to improve the squad if we can get players in that can improve squad. I want to keep it like this.”
Ahead of the Chelsea vs Crystal Palace match this afternoon (Sunday August 17), Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner said: Marc [Guehi] has trained the entire week with us, every single training session, the same with Ebs [Eze]. They’ve prepared the best way for the Chelsea game on Sunday afternoon.
“I’ve been in the football business for too long, so I know that at any time of any day, things can happen. If you ask me now, I expect both Marc and Ebs to start on Sunday.”
