TBR Football understands that Arsenal are to rival Tottenham Hotspur in making a move for Eberechi Eze.
Tottenham have had Eze interest for some time now, with Thomas Frank keen on bolstering their attacking options in midfield after a failed Morgan Gibbs-White pursuit. Arsenal were seemingly out of the Eze race.
Eze is an Arsenal fan and was always keen to join the Gunners, but Andrea Berta so far has sought out other targets, with the likes of Rodrygo rumoured.

Now, it appears Arsenal are back in for Eze, with the Englishman’s preference most certainly the Emirates.

Chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can confirm to TBR Football the details of the Eberechi Eze news.
Bailey states: “Arsenal are really concerned by Havertz’ injury, and Mikel Arteta made it clear to Andrea Berta earlier this week that he believed they should consider re-entering the transfer market.
“Eze’s deal with Tottenham has been edging closer to completion in recent days, but it was delayed until Crystal Palace’s European clash on Thursday.
“Arsenal are now back in touch, they know the player’s dream move was Arsenal all along – and as we revealed earlier in the summer, he was excited by the move.

“Spurs are still there, but they have been informed that Arsenal have rekindled their interest.”
Arsenal are aware of Palace’s asking price of over £60million, and they are now talking about the makeup of a prospective deal.
