England international signs four-year contract
Arsenal hijack Spurs deal after injury to Kai Havertz
Arsenal have completed the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace in a deal worth £67.5m. The 27-year-old has joined on a four-year contract, with the option of a fifth year, after Arsenal beat Tottenham to his signature.
Spurs had been the frontrunners to sign the England international after stepping up their interest last weekend, but their deal was hijacked by Arsenal on Wednesday. They moved in after Kai Havertz sustained a knee injury during their win against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
“We are absolutely delighted to bring Eberechi to Arsenal,” Mikel Arteta said. “He is a powerful and exciting player who will give us a new dimension in our attacking game. What stands out just as much as his talent and intelligence as a player is the way he has worked hard throughout his career to get where he is today.
