Tottenham Hotspur are considering battling Arsenal in the race to sign Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze, a source has told ESPN.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will activate the clause or attempt to negotiate a more favourable deal, but the Europa League champions are determined to sign Eze, who scored 14 times and produced 11 assists in 43 appearances during the 2024-25 season.

Eze has emerged as a target and discussions have now taken place with Palace as Spurs attempt to beat Arsenal to sign the 27-year-old. Eze has a £68m release clause which expires on Friday.
