The Battle of Eberechi Eze could be about to spark a full-scale North London transfer war.
According to Indykaila News, the Crystal Palace star agent spent two hours discussing with Tottenham yesterday, but now has a clear message to Arsenal.
Eze has become one of the best players in the Premier League in his position. His goalscoring quality and creative ability have attracted the attention of the biggest clubs, with Gunners and Spurs leading the race to sign him this summer.
The Palace playmaker helped the Eagles recently win the FA Cup and Community Shield, which has lifted his stock even higher.

Eze believes it’s the right time for him to move his career and play for a team that competes in the Champions League and Trophy challenges.
Indykaila reports following a detailed meeting with Spurs officials, Eze’s agents informed Arsenal that the window of opportunity was open but not in the same place for long.
If Gunners really wanted to bring England International to Emirates Stadium, the message was clear, but now is the time to make a formal move.
It is understood that Eze’s personal preferences are leaning towards Arsenal, and sources suggest that he “sets his mind” to wear red and white.
Crystal Palace Star prefers Arsenal over Tottenham
The appeal of playing under Mikel Arteta, challenging major trophies and joining a team stacked up with young technical talent is considered a major factor in his thinking.
But Tottenham is far from racing. Manager Thomas Frank is a well-known admirer of Eze’s versatility, especially after the recent departure of key forward Hun Min’s son, and believes he will add a new dimension to the Spurs’ offensive play.
The Spurs are ready to make competitive offers and can act quickly to ensure players have their signatures. Whether Arsenal will move forward in time will determine where Eze’s future lies.
Meanwhile, the palace is reportedly paying attention to the move that Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling will replace Eze.
