Tottenham Hotspur are considering battling Arsenal in the race to sign Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze, a source has told ESPN. The 27-year-old has two years remaining on his contract, which originally contained a £68 million ($92m) release clause.

Crystal Palace’s two biggest names Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi may have to wait until after the club plays its Europa Conference League play-offs at the end of the month before any potential deal for them is agreed.

Tottenham opened talks with Crystal Palace over a deal for Eze on Tuesday, with Frank keen to bolster his attacking ranks following injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Frank, speaking to the media in Italy, wouldn't comment on the 27-year-old's future as his side prepares for the Uefa Super Cup final against PSG.
