Forest sign £37m Hutchinson and McAtee; Ouattara joins Brentford
Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Eberechi Eze, who is expected to be absent for Crystal Palace when they face Chelsea in their opening game on Sunday.
Spurs, who are looking for attacking reinforcements after losing James Maddison to a serious knee injury and missing out on Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, have held positive talks over a deal for the playmaker and it is understood that an agreement is close. Eze’s release clause of £67.5m expired on Friday and there are indications that the 27-year-old may end up costing around £55m plus add-ons. There is a chance that negotiations will conclude with the initial fee for the England international falling under £55m.
