WHAT HAPPENED?
Renowned street artist and Arsenal fan 'Northbansky' worked on the painting overnight, after the Gunners announced they had agreed a £67.5m ($90m) deal for Crystal Palace's talisman. The piece has been added to his self-styled street gallery dedicated to the club, called 'The Tunnel'. Eze is depicted in an Arsenal shirt while hitting his trademark goal celebration.

It's hard to think of a better set of circumstances for a player to ingratiate themselves with a new fanbase. Eze's decision to snub Spurs will buy him a lot of capital with the Arsenal fanbase once he completes his transfer. First,. he has to get through his likely last game for the Eagles when they face Norwegian side Fredrikstad in the Conference League on Thursday.
