Claim 4: “Arsenal are said to have leapfrogged Tottenham in the race to sign a Premier League attacker who is expected to move this summer.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result explicitly mirrors the claim that Arsenal 'leapfrogged' Tottenham for a Premier League attacker, other results discuss different players (Eze, Greenwood, Kroupi) or general interest. There is not enough independent corroboration of the specific 'leapfrogging' event for a single unnamed attacker to meet the 'corroborated' threshold.
