Arsenal intervened in Tottenham's agreed move for Eberechi Eze by matching Palace's bid, and Eze opted to join Arsenal after returning to the club where he trained as a youngster. Spurs had reached terms with Crystal Palace before Arsenal matched the offer and the 27-year-old now faces a medical. Eze is expected to play for Crystal Palace in a UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Fredrikstad, with Marc Guehi likely to start. Fans are watching for any injury risk that could endanger the transfer. Eze progressed through Fulham, Reading and Millwall youth systems, developed at Queens Park Rangers, and moved to Palace in 2020 for £20m.

As per Fabrizio Romano, Eze's Arsenal medical is scheduled for Friday, after the Eagles' first game in Europe since the 1998 Intertoto Cup campaign.
Consequently, Arsenal fans will be watching this evening's game with baited breath, hoping Eze does not pick up an injury which could put his move in jeopardy. Eze was released by Arsenal as a teenager which the player has admitted almost caused him to fall out of love with the game. Spells with Fulham, Reading and Millwall's youth setups followed before coming through at Queens Park Rangers.
