Tottenham Hotspur believe that Crystal Palace were waiting for Arsenal to come back for Eberechi Eze, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club thought they were going to sign the England international attacker, but the Gunners have pipped them in the race.
Arsenal are offering Palace an initial £60 million and £7.5m in add-ons – superior to Spurs’ final offer.
Eze was genuinely excited about joining Tottenham, and they reached a verbal agreement with Palace.
However, Arsenal had struck the principles of an agreement with the Eagles on August 10 and kept it quiet.
An injury to Kai Havertz forced their hand. While Eze came close to joining Spurs, his dream was a move to Arsenal.
The 27-year-old is now a medical away from completing the move, and the Lilywhites are now looking elsewhere.
They could now look to make a concrete move for Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa, although he wants to join Newcastle United. The Bees want to sell him to Tottenham.
Spurs are reportedly keen on including Richarlison in a deal for Eze. The Brazilian started the new Premier League campaign with a brace against Burnley last Saturday.
They want to sign two more attackers before the summer transfer window closes.,
Spurs were linked with Manchester City forward Savinho and must move quickly with the deadline on the horizon.
