Arsenal have re-entered the race to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze and have matched Tottenham's agreement after Kai Havertz suffered a knee injury. Tottenham had previously reached an agreement with both Palace and Eze himself. The choice now rests with Eze, who prefers Arsenal and reportedly has emotional ties to the club. The prospect of joining a team considered among Premier League title contenders under Mikel Arteta strengthens Arsenal's position and creates a dramatic reversal in a transfer that had appeared settled.
According to multiple sources, Arsenal are set to hijack Tottenham Hotspur's move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze. The Gunners were interested in Eze first - at least when North London clubs are concerned, but the talks went quiet for a while and they were believed to have given up on signing the attacking midfielder. Spurs took very concrete steps then and reached an agreement, both with Palace and Eze himself.
Arsenal have, however now stepped in again, in light of the knee injury suffered by Kai Havertz, and matched everything their neighbours had put on the table. The decision is now up to Eze himself, and it seems he prefers Arsenal to Spurs - it is said that the 27-year-old has emotional ties with the Gunners, and the fact that Mikel Arteta's men are considered among the Premier League title contenders this season surely doesn't hurt their chances either.
