Tottenham will accelerate their move to sign Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze with talks expected to progress in the next 48 hours.

Tottenham Hotspur will step up talks for Eberechi Eze in the next 48 hours, with the England forward set to miss Crystal Palace’s opener this weekend as a move edges closer.

Tottenham are reportedly set to beat Arsenal in the race to sign Eberechi Eze, with the attacker understood to have accepted a move to the Lilywhites. For several weeks, Eze had been considered the final addition that Arsenal might make before the close of the transfer window.
