Arsenal have dramatically stolen Eberechi Eze from Tottenham’s grasp and are set to sign the England international after he bid farewell to Crystal Palace last night. The Gunners moved quickly after the news that Kai Havertz damaged his knee in their win over Manchester United,

Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is among Tottenham Hotspur's alternatives to Eberechi Eze, while Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton is Manchester United's dream midfielder and Lyon's Malick Fofana is on Arsenal's radar.

Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur following their failed bid for Eberechi Eze, who is set to join Arsenal for a whopping £68million.

Eze was set to move to Spurs before Arsenal stepped up their interest following an injury to forward Kai Havertz. The Gunners matched Tottenham’s bid for the Crystal Palace midfielder and Eze, who was released by Arsenal aged 13, chose the Emirates Stadium as his new home.

Manchester United are reportedly hoping that Hotspur will choose to re-enter the race to sign Alejandro Garnacho, in the hope that it will then force Chelsea's hand to seal a more expensive deal for the Argentine attacker.

Outs: Pierre-Emile Hojberg (Marseille, £17m), Alejo Veliz (Rosario Central, loan), Fraser Forster (released), Sergio Reguilon (released), Alfie Whiteman (released), Heung Min Son (LAFC, £20m), Mikey Moore (Rangers, loan)
