Eberechi Eze signed a 4 -year contract with Arsenal, with an additional 1 year extension option. He will put on the legendary number 10 shirt, the number of shirts used to be associated with big names such as Dennis Bergkamp, Mesut Ozil, Robin Van Persie, as well as mature talents from Hale End furnace such as Jack Wilshere or Emile Smith Rowe.
Earlier, Tottenham believed that they had reached an agreement with Eze and Crystal Palace on Wednesday. However, Arsenal unexpectedly restarted the deal and took the opportunity after Kai Havertz was injured. However, as revealed from the expert, Havertz's injury is only an additional factor, not the main reason why Arsenal decided to spend on Eze.
In fact, Arsenal had an eye on Eze right from the beginning of the transfer period. The negotiations and surveys of the conditions have taken place since June, with the goal of adding a player who can play versatile, from the left wing, the middle to the right corridor.
Meanwhile, Tottenham once considered the plan to use Richarlison to exchange in this deal, in order to open the gap in the attack for them to pursue Younge Wissa, former student of coach Thomas Frank in Brentford. However, Wissa is in favor of the possibility of joining Newcastle, although “injecting” has been rejected a second time after the offer sent to Wednesday.
With Eze ownership, Arsenal not only complements the creativity and speed to the attack, but also sends a strong message: they are willing to win the championship this season.
