Eze to undergo Arsenal medical, Spurs scramble to sign alternative, Isak to Liverpool update - The latest transfers, gossip and rumours as deadline day begins to pull into view

Arsenal look to have secured the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace but Mikel Arteta has been told he must now deliver the Premier League title to the Emirates

Arsenal are not expected to complete the signing of Eberechi Eze in time for him to make his debut against Leeds on Saturday - but hope to wrap up the move over the weekend. The Gunners are closing in on a deal for Eze after agreeing a fee with Crystal Palace worth £60million upfront, plus £7.5m in add-ons.

Paul Merson has told Arsenal the “pressure is on” if they don’t win the Premier League this season as Eberechi Eze was the “missing piece” for them.

Eberechi Eze is close to joining Tottenham after Arsenal backed out of the race. The England international is expected to start for Crystal Palace in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad on Thursday before sealing a £60m move to Spurs.

Eberechi Eze will undergo a medical at Arsenal, with Tottenham to miss out on the Crystal Palace star despite planning to send Richarlison the other way.

Wright, as Eze hopes to imminently do, trod the now legendary path from south London to Arsenal. He has London spirit. London energy. London style. His personality, as well as his ability, is a big part of the attraction, and the connections he already shares with England team-mates at Arsenal ensure he would be welcomed with open arms.
