Arsenal to hijack Tottenham's move for Eberechi Eze?! Gunners eye Crystal Palace star as cheaper Rodrygo alternative

<p>The Gunners are desperate to improve their attacking options and Eze is emerging as a target, with his £68m release clause making him affordable, report <a href="https://talksport.com/football/3327935/eberechi-eze-arsenal-transfer-tottenham-crystal-palace/" target="_blank">talkSPORT</a>. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-eberechi-eze-spurs-considering-move-crystal-palace-star-alternative-bryan-mbeumo/blt76adea6b72f0f87a" target="_blank">Tottenham were said to be leading the chase for the England international</a> but it could now be a battle between two north London clubs to secure his signature. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Eze has developed into one of the most exciting players in the country during his five seasons at Crystal Palace, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/eberechi-eze-fa-cup-final-goal-man-city-star-crystal-palace-beating-best-team-world/blt5a390cf0e363a01a" target="_blank">scoring the winner in the FA Cup final against Manchester City in May</a> as part of a run of seven goals in six matches. He has scored 40 goals and registered 28 assists for Palace in total.</p>
