Ornstein drops transfer bombshell, Tottenham target wants to join rivals after late U-turn

Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, and Tottenham Hotspur were hoping to secure his signature.

They have been working on his signing, but the player has now made a surprising U-turn on his future. Arsenal have entered the race following the injury to Kai Havertz, and the player wants to join them, as per The Athletic.

The development will come as a huge blow for Tottenham, and it will be interesting to see if they move on to other targets now. They would have expected to wrap up the move for the 27-year-old this week.

Arsenal need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the England international should prove to be an excellent acquisition. He has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League in recent seasons, and he would’ve improved Tottenham immensely.

With James Maddison sidelined with an injury and Son Heung-min leaving the club, Tottenham are now in desperate need of attacking reinforcements. They should look to invest in a couple of attackers before the windows. It will be interesting to see who they end up with.

Tottenham were mediocre in the attack last season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. They need a dynamic attacker who will help create opportunities and score goals. They need to invest in a reliable centre forward as well, who can share the goalscoring burden with Dominic Solanke.

It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can wrap up the move for the 27-year-old Crystal Palace star quickly. He had 25 goal contributions last season, and he could prove to be a transformative addition for them.
