Tottenham Hotspur have taken a big step in their race with Arsenal to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, according to reports - with the England star's personal terms being 'no issue' should the Europa League winners make an official approach to land his services ahead of the new season.

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

According to The Independent's Miguel Delaney, Eze does have a "first preference" between Arsenal and Tottenham. The reliable journalist has revealed that the club he'd rather join is Arsenal, but that isn't to completely discount Thomas Frank's side, as Eze remains open to potentially signing for them as well.
