In a stunning turn of events, Arsenal have snatched star forward Eberechi Eze from arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a dramatic £60m deal.
The transfer, which was considered all but done for Spurs, was disrupted after Arsenal’s Kai Havertz sustained a knee injury.
This prompted the Gunners to swiftly abandon a planned loan deal and make a decisive bid for Eze, leaving their rivals stunned.
This ruthless move is seen as a clear statement of intent from Arsenal, who are heavily backing manager Mikel Arteta to challenge for major trophies this season.
Eze, a boyhood Arsenal fan and a proven match-winner, will join other high-profile signings like Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke.
