Eze looked to be on the verge of joining Spurs, but the Gunners have now swooped in to snatch the 27-year-old away from their North London rivals.

Kai Havertz suffering a knee injury, prompted Arsenal to reignite their interest in Eze, whom they have been exploring a move for throughout the summer.

Eze has a medical booked in at Arsenal on Friday and could make his last Crystal Palace appearance against Fredrikstad in the Europa League a day earlier.

Palace are lining up replacements for Eze and potentially for captain Marc Guehi, who is a target for Liverpool.

The Daily Mail [21 August], state that Arsenal centre-back Jakub Kiwior, who did not make the Gunners squad at Manchester United on the opening weekend, could join Palace if the South London club cash-in on Guehi.

Football Insider Verdict

Arsenal could make the deal to sign Eze even sweeter if they are able to sell Kiwior to Palace.

If Guehi departs, Palace will be eager to sign a defender with Premier League experience and a deal for Kiwior could be completed quickly.

With little time left in the transfer window, Palace need players who can bed straight in and not require a long period of transition.
