Thomas Frank insists he only wants players who want to play for Tottenham Hotspur following Arsenal’s hijacking of an all but completed deal for Eberechi Eze. Spurs appeared set to seal a £67.5m move for the Crystal Palace midfielder, only for Arsenal to make their decisive move on Wednesday night.

Eze has undergone a medical with Arsenal and an official announcement of a £67.5million deal is expected imminently. Meanwhile, Arsenal fan ‘North Bansky’ celebrated the deal by stencilling an image of Eze on a tunnel outside the Emirates Stadium. The mural showed Eze in an Arsenal shirt doing his trademark celebration.

Eberechi Eze could be poised to make his debut appearance at the Emirates Stadium wearing an Arsenal shirt. The 27-year-old has graced the Gunners' home ground on numerous occasions, though those visits came whilst representing Crystal Palace - a chapter that appears to have reached its conclusion.
