Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on if Arsenal could target an alternative to Eberechi Eze after Tottenham moved 'ahead' in the race.

Eberechi Eze may have to wait until after Crystal Palace play their Europa Conference League play-off match at the end of the month before any potential deal for him is agreed. There has been no firm offer from Tottenham Hotspur for Eze despite reports of interest in the England international.
