Ian Wright believes that "God" intervened to help Arsenal snatch Eberechi Eze from Tottenham as the former Crystal Palace star pivoted to join the Gunners at the 11th hour. In a transfer twist straight out of a football fairytale, Wright declared that it was nothing short of divine intervention that led Eze to north London’s red half instead of joining bitter rivals Tottenham.
Eberechi Eze revealed an Arsenal legend who was his favourite player growing up as the Crystal Palace talisman prepares to complete a £67.5 million ($90m) transfer to the Emirates this weekend. He had long been linked with a move to Tottenham, but in a stunning late turn of events, the Gunners swooped in to steal the deal away from their fierce rivals.
A mural of Eberechi Eze painted on a wall near the Emirates Stadium ahead of his imminent transfer to Arsenal from Crystal Palace has been defaced after vandals hurled white paint across it. It is believed Tottenham fans are the culprits after the Gunners' £67.5 million ($90.5m) transfer hijacking saw Eze reject a move to Spurs.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed suggestions that the Gunners’ swoop for Eberechi Eze was triggered by Kai Havertz’s injury setback. The north London side moved quickly to finalise a £60 million deal for the Crystal Palace star, beating Tottenham to his signature, but Arteta stressed the transfer had been long in the making and not a reaction to recent fitness concerns.
Crystal Palace talisman Eberechi Eze is heading to Arsenal in a blockbuster £67.5 million deal, and manager Oliver Glasner has made no attempt to hide his fury at how the saga has unfolded, leaving them with little time to find a replacement. The England international pulled out of Thursday night’s historic 1-0 Conference League play-off victory over Fredrikstad just hours before kick-off, with Glasner admitting he was blindsided by the timing.
Eberechi Eze is the missing link for Arsenal in their hunt for a first Premier League crown under Mikel Arteta, according to former Gunner Paul Merson.
