Eze is expected to leave Palace this summer and until now it had been expected that his next club would be Arsenal.

However, Arsenal can't complete a move for the attacking midfielder until they first sell some players, having had a heavy summer of spending.

Eze to Tottenham?

This has opened the door to Tottenham, with Fabrizio Romano also confirming on Tuesday morning that Spurs were back in talks for Eze.

Tottenham are having a busy end to the transfer window as they are also in talks with Man City over the signing of Savinho.

They need reinforcements offensively after the ACL injury to James Maddison.

Arsenal have already agreed personal terms with Eze with FootballTransfers revealing on Saturday they were close to settling on a fee with Palace, too.

However, the Mail says that Arsenal can't go through with the transfer until they offload players foirst.
