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 will complete a transfer worth £60m and £7.5m in add-ons – pretty much exactly Eze’s release clause, which expired for this window last Thursday – and the boyhood Arsenal fan underwent his medical at their training centre on Friday. Spurs are now in a late scramble for a new attacker as the deadline looms.
Alexander Isak’s explosive statement this week accused Newcastle United of “broken promises” and “lost trust”, with Liverpool still strongly linked with a move for the Swedish striker. The Reds’ offer of £110m fell short of Newcastle’s valuation and Eddie Howe described Isak’s statement as a “sad moment”.
Elsewhere, Manchester United continue to endure frustration with their goalkeeper situation, and will consider signing Senne Lammens from Belgian side Antwerp, although Manchester City have also been linked with the 23-year-old. Striker Rasmus Hojlund could be on his way to Napoli.
