Fabrizio Romano: Arsenal £60m Offer Accepted as Agreement Done to Hijack Tottenham Deal for Eberechi Eze

Arsenal secured Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for £68 million after urgent need due to Kai Havertz's injury, outbidding Tottenham who pursued him for over a week.

  • Arsenal hijacked Tottenham's pursuit of Eberechi Eze by agreeing a deal with Crystal Palace to sign him in early August 2025.
  • Tottenham had negotiated for about ten days with Palace and made an offer hours before Arsenal's move, but delays and a verbal agreement led Arsenal to capitalize.
  • Eze, a 27-year-old attacking midfielder and lifelong Gunners fan who previously wore No.25 and No.27 jerseys at Palace and QPR, is expected to complete his transfer soon.
  • Arsenal's official offer matched Eze's £60 million release clause, surpassing Tottenham's reported £55 million bid, adding urgency after Kai Havertz's injury worsened attacking options.
  • This deal enhances Arsenal's squad significantly and suggests renewed competition in the transfer window while Tottenham faces supporter frustration over the failed signing.
