Arsenal are moving for Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze after learning Kai Havertz has suffered a potentially serious knee injury, sources told ESPN.

Spurs had the conditions of a deal agreed with Palace on Wednesday but are ready to move on to alternative targets.

The Gunners, who have been linked with Eze for most of the summer, are reportedly willing to allow Eze to play in that important match for Palace and have seemingly pulled ahead in the race to sign him as a result. Eze’s ties to Arsenal — he was a childhood supporter and spent time in the academy — probably doesn’t hurt, either.
