Arsenal have reignited their interest in Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze after Kai Havertz picked up a knee injury and faces a spell on the sidelines.
The Gunners were keen on Eze earlier in the window but Tottenham moved ahead of them to negotiate a deal in the region of £55m plus add-ons. Spurs have had days of negotiations, which have at times been “difficult” with Palace, but are yet to finalise a deal, giving Arsenal the belief they can hijack the transfer at the last minute.
