Who is leading the Tottenham vs Arsenal race for Eze?

Eberechi Eze has emerged as a potential signing for both Arsenal and Tottenham during the current transfer window. The England international is considered to be at a pivotal stage in his career, one where a move to a bigger club could be necessary to maximise his opportunities at the highest level. Remaining at Crystal Palace for too long may reduce the likelihood of securing such a transfer in future.

The attacker has been one of Palace’s most influential players in recent seasons, delivering a series of impressive performances and contributing to their success, which has included two trophies in recent months. While the Eagles are keen to retain their key players, particularly in a window where they have made limited signings, Eze’s departure remains a possibility.

Arsenal lead the race

According to Football Insider, both North London clubs hold a serious interest in securing Eze’s signature. However, it is reported that Arsenal are currently ahead in the race, and that the player would choose them over Tottenham if it came down to a direct decision between the two. This preference is said to be influenced by Arsenal’s present trajectory, with the suggestion that they are closer to achieving major success.

Arsenal have already enjoyed a productive summer transfer window, but there is a belief among some observers that adding Eze would further strengthen their attacking options. His technical skill, creativity, and ability to operate across the front line would provide manager Mikel Arteta with additional flexibility in team selection and tactics.

The next steps in negotiations

Tottenham’s interest ensures there could still be competition for Eze’s services, and Palace’s valuation will be a significant factor in whether a transfer can be agreed. The coming weeks will likely determine whether a formal approach from Arsenal materialises and whether the Eagles are prepared to sanction the move.

For Eze, the opportunity to join a club competing at the top end of the Premier League and in European competition could prove decisive. If Arsenal are able to reach an agreement with Palace, it would represent a major acquisition for the Gunners and a career-defining step for the player. As the window approaches its final stages, negotiations could intensify with both clubs assessing their squad needs and financial parameters.
