Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri will be under pressure to deliver at the Emirates Stadium this season after the Gunners opted not to pursue a transfer for Eberechi Eze. The 18-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season in north London last time around and penned a new contract in the summer.

Crystal Palace are reportedly prepared to drop Eberechi Eze for the club’s first Premier League fixture of the season in response to intensifying transfer interest in their star playmaker. The 27-year-old midfielder has been tipped to leave Selhurst Park all summer.

Football Insider has learned Tottenham are ready to blow Arsenal away as a formal Eberechi Eze bid is set to be submitted.
