Arsenal have sealed a £60 million transfer deal for Eberechi Eze, completing all documents with Crystal Palace.
The 26-year-old midfielder is undergoing his medical in London this morning, with a contract signing set to follow immediately. If all goes as planned, Arsenal must register Eze by 12PM today to make him eligible for their next Premier League clash against Leeds United.
The transfer represents a dramatic 24-hour hijack, as Arsenal moved quickly after Tottenham Hotspur had been in advanced talks with the player.
Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to deploy Eze as a creative force in midfield, helping to fill the gap left by Kai Havertz’s injury.
With this deal, Arsenal have added one of the Premier League’s most skillful and versatile midfielders to their squad — a statement signing as they continue their title challenge.
