Tottenham transfer news: Spurs and Palace yet to reach Eberechi Eze agreement
New Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is in desperate need of creative reinforcements and even though Eze featured in Palace's 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Sunday, PA understands positive dialogue continues between both clubs with an expectation that a deal can be reached.

Eze was recommended to Spurs during his time at QPR by old scout David Pleat, but subsequently signed for Palace in 2020 and has since developed into one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League.
After Tottenham failed in their efforts to sign Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White last month, Frank turned his focus to Eze, especially after James Maddison suffered a serious knee injury to join Dejan Kulusevski on the sidelines.
A release clause in the region of £68million in Eze's current deal at Palace expired on Friday and, despite further talks on Saturday, a day later the England international played 84 minutes in the club's league opener with Chelsea.
Palace boss Oliver Glasner afterwards expressed his desire to play Eze in Thursday's Conference League qualifier with Frederikstad, but may not get his wish.
While reports on Tuesday that an agreement between Spurs and Palace had been reached were slightly premature, negotiations appear to be heading towards a conclusion that would result in Eze moving across London.
It would end Eze's five-year stay at Selhurst Park where the 27-year-old has scored 40 times across 169 appearances for Palace, including the winner in their 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May.

Premier League set new date for Liverpool vs Man Utd clash as TV selections made
Liverpool will host Manchester United at Anfield in October in a Premier League match that has been selected to be broadcast by Sky Sports, who have moved several other games Liverpool have seen all three of their Premier League matches in October moved after they were selected to be shown live by broadcasters. All eyes are on Arne Slot 's side this season as fans wait to see if they can defend their title. October will be a crucial time for the Reds, who play Chelsea, Manchester United and Brentford that month in the league. Nineteen fixtures have been rearranged altogether, with Sky Sports now having the rights to show 215 matches live – up from 128 last season – in the first year of their four-year £6.7billion cycle. The tastiest match will come at Anfield on Sunday, October 19 at 4:30pm when Liverpool host United. That will form the headline act of Super Sunday after Tottenham vs Aston Villa at 2pm. United earned a 2-2 draw in that fixture last season and will be hoping to compete once more. That game will come two weeks after Liverpool head to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea on October 4 at 5:30pm, which will also be shown on Sky. They will also close out the month live on TV, with their trip to Brentford on Saturday, October 25 being shown on TNT Sports. They have slated it for a 12:30pm kick-off – something Jurgen Klopp continually moaned about – but it will change to 8pm if Liverpool happen to be away in the Champions League on the preceding Wednesday. The narrative in west London is likely to be built around Liverpool facing their former captain Jordan Henderson, who joined Brentford from Ajax on a free transfer this summer. Sky's broadcast deal allows them to show multiple games live simultaneously and that will be the case on Sunday, October 5 when three matches will be broadcast at once. The introduction of Multiview is an attempt to recreate the popularity of Red Zone in NFL coverage.

Revealed: The summer meeting with key Arsenal duo which convinced Eberechi Eze to join the Gunners as they hijack Spurs bid to land Palace star
Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace to dramatically hijack Tottenham 's move for Eberechi Eze in a deal worth around £60million - and it has now emerged that the player has been sold on joining the Gunners since a meeting with key club figures last month. Spurs have been in negotiations with Palace over Eze for the past 10 days as they tried to agree a move worth £55million plus add-ons. However, after Kai Havertz suffered a knee injury, the Gunners' need for another attacker saw them turn to Eze. Arsenal had earmarked signing the 27-year-old England international earlier in the window and knew they were his preferred destination but, following their £63m outlay on Viktor Gyokeres, they had wanted to concentrate on outgoings before adding another left-sided attacker. But with Havertz set to be absent for an extended period, after suffering his injury in Arsenal's win at Manchester United on Sunday, the Gunners acted to steal Eze from under the nose of their fierce rivals. Sporting director Andrea Berta and manager Mikel Arteta met Eze last month, and he was sold on the idea of moving to the Gunners but an offer failed to materialise at that time. Make your 7 picks by 12.30pm every Saturday to win £1,000* *18+, excludes NI. Terms and conditions apply Eze's release clause of £60m, plus £8m in bonuses, lapsed last week. Daily Mail Sport understands Spurs agreed to Palace's demands on Wednesday and also agreed terms with Eze. At that stage, the player was keen to finalise the move. However, Palace are understood to have insisted Eze remain available for their Conference League play-off first leg against Norwegian side Fredrikstad on Thursday night. Arsenal then stepped in on Wednesday afternoon. Tottenham moved for Eze after James Maddison was ruled out for the majority of the season with a serious knee injury. Talks had been progressing but stalled as Palace scrambled for a suitable replacement, with Spurs even understood to have proposed offering forward Richarlison as part of the deal to help negotiations progress. But with Eze now expected to choose Arsenal, Spurs' inability to close the deal will prompt further criticism from fans, after the club missed out on Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White this summer. There is dismay at Tottenham at how things have unfolded, but a belief that there is little more that they could have done. The club remain interested in Manchester City winger Savinho and Brentford's Yoane Wissa but both clubs are reluctant to sell. Eze has been training with Palace ahead of tonight's game, along with Liverpool target Marc Guehi. Speaking on Wednesday afternoon, boss Oliver Glasner said: 'They will play a crucial part for as long as they're here.'
