Transfer news & rumours LIVE: Arsenal or Man City may have hijacked Tottenham bid for Eberechi Eze as Crystal Palace star considers his future

Arsenal or Man City hijack Spurs' Eberechi Eze bid

FootballTransfers reports that a top-four Premier League team, presumably Manchester City or Arsenal, has turned Eberechi Eze's head, and that Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of the Crystal Palace star appears to have reached a snag.

For more than a year, Spurs have been after the offensive midfield player, and the two parties even had a gentleman's agreement if Eze agreed to pay Crystal Palace's £68 million asking price. In fact, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy extended an invitation to Eze's family to attend the last North London Derby game of the previous season, which Spurs lost 3-2.
