Follow live updates as Alexander Isak's Newcastle future continues to dominate the summer transfer window BlueCo — the group that owns Chelsea and Strasbourg — has reached an agreement to sign midfielder Julio Enciso from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Eberechi Eze will undergo a medical at Arsenal, with Tottenham to miss out on the Crystal Palace star despite planning to send Richarlison the other way.

Following their Eberechi Eze failure, Tottenham now want to sign Nico Paz despite his preference to join Real Madrid.

Wednesday evening, all hell broke loose in Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze. Reports over the past several days had said that negotiations between the two clubs were progressing and that an agreement for the 27-year-old England international was almost guaranteed.

Newcastle are under pressure to sign a new striker this summer. Callum Wilson was released following the expiration of his contract, but Eddie Howe’s side were forced to start the season without a recognised centre forward after Isak began his own protest over his desired move to Liverpool.

Crystal Palace could benefit from a sale for Eberechi Eze by being able to sign an Arsenal player not in Mikel Arteta's plans.

Eberechi Eze has not been named in the Crystal Palace squad to face Fredrikstad as he closes in on his move to Arsenal. He will have a chance to say his goodbyes at Selhurst Park, though, as he watches from the stands. His medical at Arsenal is booked for Friday.
