The England international opted for Arsenal despite strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur, who had been in advanced negotiations for several days but failed to finalise terms. Eze’s decision to favour Mikel Arteta’s side is seen as a major coup for the North London club, who are determined to strengthen their midfield ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Known for his creativity, dribbling ability, and versatility across attacking positions, Eze has been one of Crystal Palace’s standout performers in recent seasons. His arrival at the Emirates is expected to add dynamism and depth to Arsenal’s midfield as they aim to challenge for both Premier League and Champions League honours.
An official announcement is expected soon as final details are completed.
