Arsenal have successfully hijacked Tottenham Hotspur’s deal to sign Eberechi Eze. The deal has been done with the Gunners after it was all Spurs in the earlier days. Eze didn’t have any issue in joining Arsenal as he loves the club and did play for them in his start of the career. Arsenal offered €60 million package deal to Crystal Palace after Kai Havertz a bit long-term injury, and the club felt this is better from what Spurs were offering.
Arsenal have pulled off a major transfer coup by hijacking Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze, securing a deal worth around €60 million with Crystal Palace.
For days, Spurs had been leading the race for the talented attacking midfielder, but the Gunners swooped in late with a more convincing offer, both financially and in terms of project. The decisive push came after Kai Havertz picked up a long-term injury, forcing Arsenal to accelerate their search for a creative option.
Eze, who began his youth career with Arsenal before moving on, had no hesitation in agreeing to the switch. The 26-year-old has always admired the North London giants and was keen to return to the club where his journey first began. The move is set to sting Tottenham, who believed they were close to finalizing terms with Palace.
