According to Romano, Tottenham is currently leading the race for Eze, and the player is not Arsenal's priority.

Arsenal has made frequent moves in the transfer market this summer and has signed six first-team new players. However, it is reported that Arteta is not satisfied with this and he still hopes to add another attacker to the team. Crystal Palace star Eze has been most closely linked to Arsenal in recent weeks, after reports that the two sides had already started negotiations in early July, but the possibility of players joining seems to have declined in recent days.

Romano said that Tottenham is currently in the lead in the competition for Eze and the team is fiercely pursuing him and Manchester City winger Savigno. Meanwhile, Arsenal is focusing on handling the players' departures, and has previously discussed that Martinelli and Trosad may need to leave in order to be able to bring in new strikers.

If Tottenham sign Eze, whether Arsenal will find a replacement will depend on the player's departure and opportunities. There is no specific plan yet. If the transfer to Arsenal is not successful, it could be a blow to Eze, who allegedly told friends earlier this summer that he expected to join the Gunners.

However, considering that Arsenal already has Odgao at the 10th position, Envanéri recently signed a long-term contract, and the 15-year-old Doman's outstanding performance in the preseason has sparked expectations, it is not surprising that Arsenal did not regard Eze's transfer as a priority.
