Eberechi Eze is nearing a move to Tottenham Hotspur, but the Crystal Palace FA Cup hero's past comments about Arsenal are unlikely to go down well with their rivals

Eberechi Eze is a fantastic all-around attacker, but Spurs specifically need a set-piece and long-range specialist, and he just so happens to be one of the best at both.

Spurs initially backed off Eze earlier in the summer, but Arsenal did not formalise their interest in their former academy product, and Tottenham quickly reignited their pursuit after losing James Maddison to a serious ACL injury and Son Heung-min to Los Angeles FC.
