Tottenham have tried to steal a march on Arsenal in the race to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze - and they have one factor in their favour in the summer transfer window

Tottenham opened talks with Crystal Palace over a deal for Eze on Tuesday, with Frank keen to bolster his attacking ranks following injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Frank, speaking to the media in Italy, wouldn't comment on the 27-year-old's future as his side prepares for the Uefa Super Cup final against PSG.

Tottenham Hotspur are considering battling Arsenal in the race to sign Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze, a source has told ESPN. The 27-year-old has two years remaining on his contract, which originally contained a £68 million ($92m) release clause.
