Arsenal moves closer to coveted transfer with a helping hand from Tottenham

Arsenal are making a determined push to strengthen their midfield, and the Gunners have just made that mission a whole lot simpler—thanks to Tottenham.

Details: Both North London clubs were in the hunt for Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze, but according to Ben Jacobs, Spurs have now dropped out of the race, leaving the Gunners with a clear runway to get the deal done.

Quote: “Eze is a transfer that really could happen. He has a release clause worth £68 million, and crucially, the fee can be paid in three installments. Right now, it’s being dubbed a sort of North London derby—with Arsenal and Tottenham both battling for the player.

However, from what I’m hearing, Tottenham have stepped back in recent hours. Their interest was genuine, but now it’s more about watching from the sidelines than making a move. There are also whispers that Eze himself is an Arsenal supporter,” Jacobs told talkSPORT.
