Tottenham Hotspur lost their apparent advantage to sign Eberechi Eze after Arsenal agreed terms to sign the Crystal Palace midfielder. James Maddison faces a long layoff with an anterior cruciate ligament injury and Dejan Kulusevski remains sidelined with a knee issue, leaving Spurs short of creativity. Son Heung-min's move to MLS further reduced options on the left wing. Tottenham are reportedly considering Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as a solution to address both the creative spark and left-wing vacancy. Real Madrid's incoming manager Xabi Alonso may influence Rodrygo's availability during squad changes at Los Blancos.
Recently Tottenham were described as having a free run to sign Eze, with their North London rivals said to be out of the picture to sign the England international though the Crystal Palace star reported for training on Wednesday ahead of Conference League duty this Thursday. In a huge twist, however, Arsenal last night agreed terms to sign former Hale End academy graduate Eze in a late steal, as per David Ornstein of The Athletic.
According to Thursday's edition of Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, via Sport Witness, however, the Lilywhites may look to address both areas with the signing of Rodrygo. FourFourTwo understands that the Gunners were extremely keen on an ambitious move to bring the Brazilian to North London in their own quest for an upgrade on the left-wing, as incoming Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso looks to put his stamp on Los Blancos.
