Transfer: Gary Lineker Expresses Disappointment as Arsenal Snatches Eberechi Eze From Under Tottenham’s Nose
Arsenal secured Eberechi Eze for £67.5 million after hijacking Tottenham's deal, filling a key creative role due to Kai Havertz's injury and marking Palace's record sale.
- Arsenal hijacked the transfer of 27-year-old Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, finalizing a deal after Tottenham had almost secured him.
- Arsenal renewed their interest in Eberechi Eze following Kai Havertz’s recent knee injury, despite Tottenham having already reached an agreement with Crystal Palace for a fee reported to be £60 million plus £7.5 million in add-ons.
- Eze, a lifelong Arsenal fan and former academy player released at 13, chose the Gunners over Spurs, filling a left-side void and possibly the No.10 role.
- Former Tottenham forward Gary Lineker praised Eze's exceptional abilities and described his move to Arsenal as an excellent acquisition, though he admitted feeling disappointed that Arsenal secured the signing at the last minute.
- The signing exemplifies a recurring pattern where Spurs lose key targets to Arsenal, reflecting ongoing rivalry tensions and disappointment among Spurs supporters.
