Arsenal have made a dramatic move to hijack Tottenham Hotspur’s bid to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze after Kai Havertz suffered a knee injury that has left the club sweating on his fitness.

Chelsea could use funds from a potential sale of Jackson to finally wrap up deals for Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons, while Christopher Nkunku continues to discuss a move back to RB Leipzig.

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, understands that Tottenham are sad to miss out on Eberechi Eze, but Arsenal’s hijack didn’t come as a big shock. The 27-year-old has been on the radar of both North London clubs in this window, with the Gunners holding talks with his agents at the very start of the summer.

Tottenham are considering offering Richarlison as part of the deal to bring in Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace - and would then make a move for Brentford ’s Yoane Wissa.

As Mail Sport reported at the weekend, Tottenham's opening proposal has been around £55m plus add-ons, with Palace valuing the 27-year-old closer to £70m.
