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 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 £60m.

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.
