Arsenal have pulled off a stunning transfer coup, securing a £67.5m deal with Crystal Palace for star midfielder Eberechi Eze, outpacing rivals Tottenham in a dramatic race for his signature.
The agreement, finalized on August 20, 2025, was driven by an injury to Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, prompting the Gunners to act decisively.
Negotiations had been ongoing for days, with Arsenal offering superior terms to edge out Spurs, who were also in advanced talks. Sources noted the deal was “never a done deal” until Arsenal’s swift move sealed it. Eze, 27, made his preference clear, as insiders confirmed he “preferred to join Arsenal over Spurs,” paving the way for his move to the Emirates.
The £67.5m package reflects Arsenal’s ambition as title contenderand not mere title pretenders as they have been for the past three seasons.
Arsenal fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to see Eze shine in the red and white.
