Why Eze isn't playing for Crystal Palace v Fredrikstad as Arsenal transfer looms
Arsenal hijacked Spurs' deal in a stunning move on the eve of the clash.
Eberechi Eze's Long-Standing Arsenal Affinity Comes Full Circle with Reported Transfer London, UK – Footballer Eberechi Eze is reportedly set to join Arsenal in a significant transfer, a move that brings his long-standing connection with the North London club to the forefront. Resurfaced footage from 2018 shows a younger Eze, then at QPR, openly declaring Arsenal as his favorite Premier League team. In the brief interview, Eze stated, "Arsenal," when asked about his preferred club, adding, "I've just supported them from young. The way they play... played with them when I was younger as well, that's why it's my favourite team." When playfully questioned if he would accept an offer from Arsenal, Eze smiled and responded, "I don't know about that." This past sentiment gains new relevance as reports indicate Eze is now on the verge of signing for the Gunners for a fee in excess of £60 million, reportedly after Arsenal "hijacked" a potential move to their rivals, Tottenham. The footage provides a compelling backstory to what could be one of the summer's most talked-about transfers, fulfilling a childhood dream for the talented midfielder.
