It felt for some time that Eberechi Eze would be a Tottenham player eventually, when suddenly Eze was signing for Spurs' biggest rival Arsenal. So how did it all go down?

Eze agreed personal terms with Spurs, who reached an agreement over a transfer fee on Wednesday, but Palace refused to immediately greenlight an exit as they wanted their talisman available for Thursday’s Conference League qualifier against Fredrikstad. As a result, the door was opened to Arsenal.

Eberechi Eze has been denied the chance to play for Crystal Palace one last time before completing his move to Arsenal. The forward is on the verge of moving to north London after a £60million transfer fee was agreed between the two clubs. Eze was initially set to join Tottenham but Arsenal swooped in to beat their bitter rivals to his signature.
