Tottenham Hotspur appear to have rejoined Arsenal in the race to sign Eberechi Eze. The Crystal Palace star has been heavily linked with a move to north London this summer as Thomas Frank and Mikel Arteta look to bolster their attacking options .

Eze helped the Eagles get their hands on the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon, defeating Liverpool 3-2 on penalties . It's the second piece of silverware that Oliver Glasner's side have lifted in just a couple of months after beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

The England international played a key role in each of the bouts, etching his name in the history books at Selhurst Park . His impressive performances haven't gone under the radar, attracting interest from some top Premier League clubs.

Tottenham reignite Eze pursuit

According to Fabrizio Romano , Tottenham are back in talks to sign Eze – separate deal from their pursuit of Savinho. The report claims the Lilywhites wang to bolster Frank's options following Son Heung-min's exit and James Maddison's injury.

Any deal for Eze is believed to be separate from any potential exit of either Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, who face somewhat uncertain futures. That said, the north Londoners would look to move on Fabio Vieira , Albert Sambi Lokonga and Karl Hein in an effort to free up space on the wage bill and remain compliant with spending rules.

Glasner provides Eze update

Oliver Glasner provided an update on Eze's future ahead of the Community Shield. Speaking to the Mirror the Palace boss said: "He will play on Sunday, definitely, and Marc [Guehi] as well – he will captain the team."

The Palace boss added: "Marc and I, we have the same fate, but I can't speak on behalf of Marc. In the end, it's always the player's decision, and Marc will decide his future.

"Of course, everybody wants Marc to sign a new contract, everybody who is connected to Crystal Palace at least. Everybody wants to keep the squad together because they did so well last season.

"But again, I don't know how often this happens here at Palace, keeping your top 15 to 16 players going into a new season when you've performed that well. That's also a great achievement for the club, but you never know what happens in this sometimes crazy transfer market."
