Overview

• Arsenal have scheduled a medical for Eberechi Eze today after agreeing a deal reported at about £60m plus add-ons to £67.5m.
• Tottenham had believed a transfer was close before Arsenal intervened late to land the Crystal Palace playmaker.
• Oliver Glasner said Eze called in sick before Palace’s 1-0 Conference League play-off first leg win over Fredrikstad and declared he will not play for the club again.
• Glasner warned Palace would be in big trouble if captain Marc Guéhi departs before reinforcements arrive, noting no new signings can be registered for next week’s return leg in Norway.
• Palace’s only summer arrivals are Borna Sosa and goalkeeper Walter Benítez, with chairman Steve Parish pledging to strengthen; separately, Manchester United are reported to be accelerating a move for Sevilla’s Lucien Agoumé.
