Arsenal have reignited their interest in Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze following an injury to Kai Havertz.
Tottenham Hotspur were previously leading negotiations for Eze, with a deal reportedly around £55m plus add-ons.
Crystal Palace's negotiations with Tottenham have been difficult, creating an opportunity for Arsenal to potentially hijack the transfer.
Arsenal's proposed deal is believed to be similar to Tottenham's approximate £60m package but includes faster payment terms.
The Gunners are confident they can persuade Eze to choose them over Tottenham, as he has long been rumoured to prefer a move to Arsenal.
