Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri will be under pressure to deliver at the Emirates Stadium this season after the Gunners opted not to pursue a transfer for Eberechi Eze. The 18-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season in north London last time around and penned a new contract in the summer.

Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze will soon leave his club and only Arsenal and Spurs are in race to sign him this season. Arsenal were the clear favourites to secure their man but arch-rivals Spurs have recently taken the advantageous position.

Crystal Palace fans chanted 'it's not football anymore' after Eberechi Eze was denied what could have been his last-ever goal for the club due to a niche law.

Arsenal legend Lee Dixon believes that Eberechi Eze could be a ‘title decider’ if he puts pen to paper with his former side. The playmaker has been heavily linked with a move away from Crystal Palace in recent weeks, with the Gunners and Tottenham keen to acquire his services.

Football Insider has learned Tottenham are ready to blow Arsenal away as a formal Eberechi Eze bid is set to be submitted.

Arsenal had been touted with an interest in Eze earlier this summer but that subsequently cooled, with Spurs instead emerging as front-runners for the 27-year-old instead.
