Eberechi Eze trained with Crystal Palace on Wednesday as Tottenham attempt to wrap up a deal for the 27-year-old England midfielder.
With Spurs set for a fresh round of talks with Palace, Eze trained with the Palace squad ahead of their Conference League play-off first leg against Fredrikstad.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner is due to confirm whether or not Eze will be involved against Fredrikstad when he holds his pre-match press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
Arsenal have cooled their interest in Eze, paving the way for Spurs to seal a move for their primary transfer target before the end of the window.

Eze played for Palace in their 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Sunday after Spurs failed to reach an agreement with the Eagles last week.
Palace ideally want to sign a replacement for Eze before letting him leave and have made an approach to Leicester over a move for Bilal El Khannous.
Christos Tzolis is also a target but Club Brugge are reluctant to sell the 23-year-old, who signed a new contract earlier this summer.
Eze scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists last season, and scored the winner for Palace in their FA Cup final win over Manchester City.
Palace captain Marc Guehi also trained on Wednesday amid continued interest from Liverpool.
Eagles chairman Steve Parish has admitted Guehi, whose contract expires next summer, could be sold before the transfer window shuts on September 1.
But Guehi would be happy to stay at Palace to guarantee playing time as he seeks to make the England team for the World Cup next summer.
