It felt for some time that Eberechi Eze would be a Tottenham player eventually, when suddenly Eze was signing for Spurs' biggest rival Arsenal. So how did it all go down?

Arsenal have agreed a fee of close to £68 million ($92m) with Crystal Palace for midfielder Eberechi Eze, sources have told ESPN.

Eze agreed personal terms with Spurs, who reached an agreement over a transfer fee on Wednesday, but Palace refused to immediately greenlight an exit as they wanted their talisman available for Thursday’s Conference League qualifier against Fredrikstad. As a result, the door was opened to Arsenal.
