Eberechi Eze trained with Crystal Palace on Wednesday as Tottenham attempt to wrap up a deal for the 27-year-old England midfielder. With Spurs set for a fresh round of talks with Palace, Eze trained with the Palace squad ahead of their Conference League play-off first leg against Fredrikstad.

Arsenal have hijacked Tottenham move for Eberechi Eze, according to David Ornstein. Mikel Arteta’s side have already taken significant strides to improve their squad this summer, with Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga arriving for around £200m.
