Tottenham Hotspur's move to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace took a fresh twist on Sunday after he was named in the Eagles starting XI to face Chelsea, despite reports he would be left out, although the transfer is still on course to be concluded.

Eberechi Eze is one step away from signing for Tottenham. Eberechi Eze is about to take a significant step in his career. The midfielder from Crystal Palace has agreed personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur since the beginning of the week, as confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Talks between Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur are not as advanced as expected. Oliver Glasner and Eberechi Eze have agreed that Eze will make himself available for the Chelsea game to help his teammates in the London derby.

A year ago, Genoa were on the cusp of a permanent agreement to sign Djed Spence until between them, the Italian club and Tottenham Hotspur could not agree on a fee below his £8.5m option to buy. A likely return to a north London scrapheap beckoned.

The Liverpool Echo reports that the Toffees are in the market to sign a wide man, but have been priced out of a move for Dibling by Southampton. Manchester United want to accept Roma’s bid of £20million for Jadon Sancho.

According to reports, Thomas Frank has ‘approved’ Tottenham Hotspur’s ‘priority’ signing after Eberechi Eze as they have ‘launched a £70m bid’. Spurs have been active in this summer’s transfer window as the ninth-biggest spending club in Europe. They have invested around £120m on signings, notably Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel and Joao Pahlinha.

Hotspur are in advanced talks with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze, who Arsenal have decided not to sign this summer.
