Transfer Notebook: Tottenham’s advantage over Arsenal in Eze race, Liverpool star to stay, West Ham in talks to sign Championship ace


Arsenal’s inventory of No. 10s could give the rivals of North London Tottenham in the battle for the signing of Eberechi Eze.

After a relatively quiet summer, Tottenham is now expecting one of her top goals in the last weeks of the transfer window with Crystal Palace Ace Eze.

Eze has played a key role in Crystal Palace with her FA Cup and FA Community Shield in a few months - but he was still able to leave the club before the end of the summer

Arsenal has followed Eze all summer, but still has to make a formal offer.

One of the main factors is that, like Spurs Ezes, they see the best position as a lonely striker.

Arsenal already has captain Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz in this role, while the 18-year-old Ethan Nwaneri was promised minutes after a new contract was written together.

Eze can also play on the left, but Arsenal remains checked with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

In his palace contract, EZE has a clause for the publication of 68 million pounds, which originally expired two weeks ago, is still active until Friday.

Hammers speaks to Sign championship star

West Ham has opened talks with Southampton about Matheus Fernandes, Talksport understands.

Fernandes recorded a series of Premier League clubs last season, although the dark campaign of Saints, in which they had narrowly avoided, set a new record.

West Ham has followed the Portuguese all summer and has now formalized its interest.

However, the saints have already shown that they make a hard bargain by rejecting Evertons 45 millions of pounds for Tyler Dibling.

The south coast should demand more than £ 30 million for Fernandes, which is also admired by Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim.

Liverpool Ace remains provided

It was a summer of change in Liverpool with new commitments and well -known arrivals.

A player who has no plans to improve sticks is midfielder Wataru Endo despite the interest of clubs in Germany, including Frankfurt.

The Japanese international probably has to be satisfied with another season as a squad player in Anfield.

But sources near the 32th anniversary that he and his family settle for Merseyside.

Manager Arne Slot also wants to keep endo, partly because of its versatility and its ability to play both in defense and in the middle of the park.

Endo came against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield Final on Sunday and played 19 minutes from the defeat of the Reds in Wembley.

Large editions Chelsea pushed Guehi Chase

The 40 million pound rating of Crystal Palace by Marc Guehi prevents Chelsea from re-signing the English international.

Chelsea was left with a short hand by Levi Colwill’s ACL injury.

It is believed that the Blues Guehi have brought back to the Stamford Bridge, but at the moment the price of Palace is considered too high.

Instead, Renato Veiga, which was expected to join Juventus, can be held back in order to offer additional coverage to the injured Colwill.

Guehi is also admired by Liverpool, although Talksport understands that Newcastle is currently not inclined to revive her interest from last summer.

The English international is out of the contract at the end of the season if he can go free and probably not only has his selection of clubs in England, but overseas.
