Therefore, Crystal Palace have already started looking for replacements and as per David Ornstein, the Eagles are working on the deal to sign Leicester City star Bilal El Khannouss. Palace reportedly have seen their first bid worth £20m ($27m) get rejected for the 21-year-old as the Foxes are keen to hold onto the Moroccan midfielder.

Tottenham are close to agreeing a deal for Eberechi Eze which will add to Thomas Frank's joy after a 3-0 win over Burnley.

Summer signings Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha both starred for Tottenham as they fell agonisingly short of lifting their second trophy in the space of four months, but Frank added post-match that he needs reinforcements in the closing weeks of the window.

Pape Matar Sarr is once again set to play in the more advanced midfield role, with the deal for the 27-year-old unlikely to be done in time for the first game of the new season. That means just one change for the former Brentford manager, with Wilson Odobert coming in to replace Kevin Danso to allow Spurs to be a bit more attacking.

Tottenham Hotspur’s search for a new playmaker has returned to Eberechi Eze in the final week before the Premier League season. What seemed a closed chapter earlier this summer is now active again after the club reopened talks with Crystal Palace.

Tottenham are not yet done in the summer transfer market as updates emerge on Savinho, Eberechi Eze, and now Piero Hincapie.

Hotspur are in talks with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze and have also learnt the outcome of a second and improved bid for Savinho.

Eberechi Eze could make Arsenal title winners, but would be afforded more game time at rivals Tottenham, admits ex-Gunner Lee Dixon.
