Eberechi Eze starts for Crystal Palace against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, despite strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur in signing the England international. The attacking midfielder was a doubt to feature amid uncertainty over his future, but the Eagles decided to include him for the clash in west London as negotiations with Spurs continue.
Tottenham became the first English club to benefit from a new rule in the Premier League as Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was penalised for wasting time during their season opener on Saturday. The 2025-26 Premier League season has seen major rule changes designed to speed up play and give fans more access than ever before, as the top flight is clamping down on delays.
Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. Spurs are making progress in their talks with the Eagles and the two clubs are expected to reach an agreement in the next 48 hours. Eze is determined to join the North London club and the attacking midfielder is likely to remain out of Palace's matchday squad against Chelsea on Sunday as he looks to seal his move.
Richarlison has drawn comparisons with Brazil icon Ronaldo Nazario after the Tottenham striker scored a brilliant overhead kick against Burnley on Saturday. The Selecao forward completed his brace around the hour mark with a world-class strike as Thomas Frank's side kicked off the 2025-26 Premier League with a thumping win at home over the Clarets.
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly set their sights on Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers, with Spurs ready to pounce should financial headaches force a sale in the West Midlands. The 23-year-old has become one of the most talked about young attackers in England.
Former Arsenal and England defender Lee Dixon believes Eberechi Eze "could push Arsenal over the line" in their Premier League title bid but has warned the Gunners that he might be more inclined to join their derby rivals Tottenham Hotspur. In fact, Tottenham’s push has been accelerated by the crushing news that James Maddison will miss most of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly turned down the chance to bring Manchester United’s controversial winger Alejandro Garnacho to north London. Both clubs carried out extensive “due diligence” on the Argentine before deciding to pursue other attacking targets. The verdict was clear: despite Garnacho’s raw ability, the baggage that comes with him outweighed the potential upside.
Richarlison launched a passionate defence of Tottenham team-mate Mathys Tel after the French forward was targeted with racial abuse following their UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The club also put out a strongly-worded statement expressing their "disgust" at the incident.

Thomas Frank’s Tottenham reign was within touching distance of its first piece of silverware, only for Paris Saint-Germain to rip it away in the final moments and twist the knife on penalties. The North Londoners were cruising with an 80-minute stranglehold over their star-laden French rivals in the Super Cup final, but a late implosion saw dreams turn to dust.
Arsenal are yet to make progress in their transfer pursuit of Eberechi Eze, while Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their interest in the Crystal Palace talisman. Eze reportedly has a release clause in his current contract worth £68 million ($92m/€79m), which is active until August 15. The Gunners have added firepower to their attack this summer by signing Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres.
UEFA are considering transforming the annual Super Cup fixture into a four-team tournament that could be staged outside of Europe as early as next season.
