REVEALED: How Arsenal Hijacked Spurs’ Eberechi Eze Deal in Dramatic North London Twist

In a stunning turn of events, Arsenal snatched Eberechi Eze from the clutches of Tottenham Hotspur after the Crystal Palace star made a decisive phone call to Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

Spurs were on the verge of sealing a £67.5 million deal for the 27-year-old playmaker following extensive negotiations, but Eze’s direct outreach to Arteta changed everything.

The call reportedly sparked an emergency board meeting at Arsenal, leading to a swift and aggressive move that saw the Gunners hijack the transfer and unveil Eze at the Emirates just minutes before their emphatic 5-0 win over Leeds United.

Arteta confirmed the call, saying, ‘That shows you how much he wanted to come. I’m delighted to have him. You can tell how much it means to him and his whole family.’

Eze’s arrival takes Arsenal’s summer spending past £260 million, and Arteta believes the midfielder brings a unique spark to the squad.

‘Without a doubt, he has the capacity to create magic moments. He’s got flair, charisma, and versatility—he can play anywhere across the attacking line.’

The dramatic swoop not only strengthens Arsenal’s title ambitions but also delivers a psychological blow to their north London rivals, who had been confident of landing the Palace talisman
