The Gunners look to hijack Tottenham’s attempts to sign the Crystal Palace winger in desire to strengthen their forward line

Arsenal are set to hijack Tottenham’s move to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, according to The Athletic. The Gunners are willing to pay £60 million (A$125.5m) for the attacking midfielder, who can also play on a wing, with multiple reports saying the two clubs have agreed to terms.

Exactly three months ago, Tottenham Hotspur won their first piece of silverware in 17 years. Beating Manchester United in the Europa League final, securing qualification for this season’s Champions League in the process, was supposed to transform the mood around the club and, for a brief time, it did.

They were heavily linked with a move for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze but he now looks set to join Tottenham. According to Fabrizio Romano, the 27-year-old has informed Palace chiefs that he wants to join Arsenal 's local rivals.

We will take on Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. August 23 as part of our ongoing pre-season preparations ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. The match will take place at Mangata Developments Stadium Meadow Park, with kick-off set for 3pm.

Wright, as Eze hopes to imminently do, trod the now legendary path from south London to Arsenal. He has London spirit. London energy. London style. His personality, as well as his ability, is a big part of the attraction, and the connections he already shares with England team-mates at Arsenal ensure he would be welcomed with open arms.

Arsenal continue to receive concrete reasons to reignite their pursuit of Real Madrid’s Rodrygo. With Eberechi Eze now heading to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal have missed out on their top target despite being ready to make the necessary sales to fund the move.

Former Arsenal legend believes Spurs could be a better team for Premier League star than moving to the Emirates Stadium.
