TBR Football understands that Tottenham are advancing in talks to sign Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze.
TBR Football sources confirmed earlier this week that Tottenham had rekindled their long-term interest in Eze.
The North London club are keen to add new attackers to Thomas Frank’s squad before the transfer window deadline, and they have held talks over Eze and Savinho. Both players are open to joining.
TBR Football exclusively revealed that Eze has accepted that he is not moving to Arsenal, who are now focusing on other targets.
Talks are not a problem with Eze, or indeed Savinho, but work still remains on finalising terms with both attackers.

Tottenham Hotspur are locked in talks with Crystal Palace over a deal for Eberechi Eze, sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey.
TBR Football understands that the Eagles are demanding in excess of £60 million, and it remains to be seen whether Spurs are willing to go to that figure.
But the 27-year-old has made it clear to Tottenham that he is focused on joining the Lilywhites, and that could well work in Spurs’ favour during negotiations.
Bailey told TBR Football: “Talks are ongoing – Palace in an ideal world would like to sell Marc Guehi and keep Eberechi Eze now his release clause has expired, but that does not appear to be happening – indeed the opposite with Guehi going and Eze staying.

“We understand that Eze has made it clear to Palace that he would like to make the move to Spurs and he is now focused on making that switch before the window closes.”
Tottenham started their Premier League campaign with an impressive 3-0 win over Burnley, so adding Eze to the mix is an exciting prospect.
Frank missed a creative spark in the first half, and the former QPR starlet would certainly add that to his team.

Tottenham are now confident of signing the England international, however, they are less confident of landing Savinho, but talks remain ongoing to find a solution.
“Speaking to Spurs sources – they are confident they get Eze done. In terms of Savinho, maybe less so, but talks are ongoing with that too,” added Bailey.
Savinho missed Man City’s game against Wolves with an unspecified injury, with the forward having posted himself training alone amid ongoing links to Spurs.
TBR Football first revealed Tottenham’s interest in Savinho and now talks will continue to try to find a resolution over a fee.
Spurs face Manchester City in the Premier League next weekend, which adds an interesting permutation to negotiations.
