Transfer news LIVE!Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs aiming to complete some big deals now that the new Premier League season is underway. The Gunners look set to miss out on the signing of Eberechi Eze as bitter rivals Tottenham are firmly in the driver's seat.
Football Insider has learned Tottenham are ready to blow Arsenal away as a formal Eberechi Eze bid is set to be submitted.
TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Arsenal’s move for Eberechi Eze is currently considered to be off the table, with Tottenham Hotspur set to firm up their interest. On Tuesday, TBR Football revealed that Tottenham had made contact with Eze’s camp, and there is an expectation that Spurs could now land him.

Arsenal remain interested in signing Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, and a move may activate later in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham are close to agreeing a deal for Eberechi Eze which will add to Thomas Frank's joy after a 3-0 win over Burnley.
