Arsenal pounced to beat north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to a deal on Wednesday, matching the Spurs offer and persuading Eze to join them instead. Spurs hadn’t finalised their agreement due to Palace wanting Eze to play the first leg of a Conference League play-off, which he subsequently didn’t feature in anyway.

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Eberechi Eze from their Premier League rivals Crystal Palace with the attacking midfielder poised to join his boyhood club ahead of Tottenham

Fabrizio Romano says Premier League forward wants to join Tottenham instead of Eberechi Eze despite his club's reluctance to sell.

Eberechi Eze is closing in on a move to Arsenal, and it has become clear he only ever wanted a move to the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta has spoken about what Arsenal look for in a new player after hijacking Tottenham's move for Eberechi Eze, who is joining the Gunners in a £67.5million transfer.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank insists he has no problem missing out on Eberechi Eze and only wants players who want to 'wear this fantastic badge'.

Thomas Frank insists Tottenham will recover from the blow of missing out on the signing of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.

Thomas Frank has said he only wants to sign players who are desperate to play for Tottenham, after Eberechi Eze snubbed the club for Arsenal.Eze was set to move to Spurs before Arsenal stepped up their interest following an injury to forward Kai Havertz.

According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Arsenal plan to use Eze as a number 10, which is "fascinating" because it's a clear indication that Arteta was planning a similar role for Havertz, before the German's forced absence.

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.
