Eze had looked Spurs-bound after they spent 10 days negotiating over a deal worth £55million plus add-ons - only for Arsenal to sneak in at the last minute with a bid worth £67.5m.

Arsenal have completed the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for a reported deal of 67.5 million pounds on Saturday, August 23. Eze will wear the No.10 jersey at the club.

Eberechi Eze has passed on his gratitude to Crystal Palace for ‘giving him a chance’ and ‘believing in him’ after completing a transfer move to Arsenal. The 27-year-old England international has brought an end to his five-year spell at Selhurst Park to join the Gunners – the club that released him at the age of just 13.
