Tottenham Set to Battle Arsenal in High-Stakes Pursuit of Star Target, Plus Exclusive Savinho Move

Following disappointment with their bold pursuit of Manchester City's Savinho, Tottenham Hotspur have allegedly revived talks regarding a potential transfer for Eberechi Eze.

The Crystal Palace playmaker has been consistently connected with a switch to Spurs' bitter north London adversaries Arsenal throughout this summer window. Following his role in guiding the Eagles to their inaugural major silverware, which was quickly complemented by Sunday's Community Shield triumph, the FA Cup champion is anticipated to depart this summer.

Potential buyers have until Friday to activate Eze's buyout clause, reportedly valued at £67.5 million ($89.8 million) in total, comprising £60 million guaranteed plus additional performance-related bonuses. Palace would seek a comparable amount beyond that timeframe, according to The Guardian, and have already identified Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss as his potential successor.

Eze is characterized as "enthusiastic" about joining Tottenham by Fabrizio Romano, who initially disclosed that Spurs are formulating bids for both the England midfielder and Savinho.

Thomas Frank has already witnessed Son Heung-min's departure to LAFC and lost James Maddison to a campaign-ending ACL injury. The pair concluded as Tottenham's top two assist contributors last season, collectively generating 16 Premier League goals.

Spurs have acquired Mohammed Kudus and finalized a permanent agreement for Mathys Tel, yet there remains evident need for additional offensive creativity. Savinho contributed an notable eight Premier League assists throughout his inaugural season in the league last campaign, which could explain City's reported hesitancy to release their wide player.

Should a transfer for the Brazilian materialize, it will allegedly require over £50 million.
