Yesterday was a bad day for Tottenham Hotspur, but while the club failed in its bid to secure Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze after losing out to an Arsenal gazumping, the club is already briefing that it has other irons in the fire.

Arsenal have booked Eberechi Eze in for a medical on Friday, assuming he comes through his final Palace appearance unscathed. So who will Tottenham turn to?

Eberechi Eze is close to joining Tottenham after Arsenal backed out of the race. The England international is expected to start for Crystal Palace in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad on Thursday before sealing a £60m move to Spurs.

Hotspur are exploring a potential move for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku as they seek to bolster their attacking options, sources reveal.

Tottenham have reportedly made an Aston Villa star their ‘priority target’ and have made contact in regards to his signing, which could cost an astronomical fee.

Gabriel Agbonlahor says Richarlison may now be unhappy at Tottenham after reports he was set to be used in a swap deal.

Exactly three months ago, Tottenham Hotspur won their first piece of silverware in 17 years. Beating Manchester United in the Europa League final, securing qualification for this season’s Champions League in the process, was supposed to transform the mood around the club and, for a brief time, it did.

Tottenham have held internal talks over a late move for RB Leipzig starlet Xavi Simons following Arsenal’s hijack of their pursuit of Eberechi Eze, GIVEMESPORT senior reporter Fabrizio Romano has revealed.

Arsenal have beaten Tottenham to Eberechi Eze, but a move billed as a hijacking had actually been made long before Spurs struck a deal for the playmaker.
