Kai Havertz is set to be sidelined yet again by injury as Mikel Arteta frantically scurries to find a new striker replacement.

Spurs had the conditions of a deal agreed with Palace on Wednesday but are ready to move on to alternative targets.

Arsenal had an open training session at the Emirates on Wednesday before their first home fixture of the Premier League season when they host Leeds United on Saturday. Ben White and Kai Havertz were glaring omissions. White came off in the 71st minute in the win at Manchester United on Sunday and Havertz started the game on the bench.

Havertz, who earns £250,000-a-week at the Emirates Stadium, was Arsenal's main man in attack last season, but he's since been joined by Viktor Gyokeres as another option for the centre-forward position. As a result, Havertz was on the bench against Manchester United at the weekend, with Gyokeres leading the line for the Gunners.

Leeds United started life back in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Everton at Elland Road on Monday night, and they take on Arsenal next at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Leeds will be facing one of their fiercest oppositions this season this weekend given how impressive the Gunners have been in the last three seasons.

Arsenal are on the verge of signing Tottenham target Eberechi Eze after the Crystal Palace star gave his green signal to join the Gunners this summer. Arsenal are now negotiating terms of the transfer with the Eagles and are expected to finalise a deal to sign the England interatioanl very soon.

The Gunners are preparing for their second game of the Premier League season, and they got off to a perfect start in terms of coming home with three points. Arsenal travelled to Manchester United with a host of new signings involved, securing a 1-0 victory thanks to a Riccardo Calafiori header from a Declan Rice corner.
