Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace in a blockbuster deal worth £67.5 million.
The 26-year-old forward had been strongly linked with Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week, with reports suggesting he was on the verge of a switch across London. But omo, Arsenal pulled a fast one and hijacked the move, securing his signature at the Emirates Stadium instead.
Eze has signed a four-year contract with the Gunners, with an option to extend for another year. The England international will wear the iconic No.10 shirt, a number previously worn by some of Arsenal’s biggest legends.
Omo, this one sweet Arsenal fans! Imagine snatching a key target right from under Spurs’ nose — na proper derby win before ball sef don start!
The deal makes Eze Arsenal’s seventh signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera.
Altogether, Arsenal’s summer spending has now skyrocketed to a massive £267 million, showing just how serious the club is about competing at the very top this season.
Eze’s flair, creativity, and attacking spark are expected to add even more firepower to Mikel Arteta’s squad. With his ability to glide past defenders and create chances, many fans believe he’s the missing piece Arsenal needed to challenge for trophies.
As one fan allegedly posted online: “Not only did we sign Eze, we also broke Spurs’ hearts. North London is red!”
With the new season heating up, all eyes will be on how quickly Eze adapts and what impact he makes in an already stacked Arsenal attack. One thing’s for sure — omo, this Premier League transfer window don mad!
