Nothing to comment on Eze yet - Arteta
Eberechi Eze is set to complete his move to Arsenal after the Gunners dramatically swooped to beat rivals Tottenham to his signature.
Arsenal will complete a transfer worth £60m and £7.5m in add-ons – pretty much exactly Eze’s release clause - after the boyhood Gunners fan underwent his medical at their training centre on Friday. While Eze is not understood to be registered to play in this afternoon’s game against Leeds, he may make his debut against Liverpool next week. Spurs, meanwhile, are now in a late scramble for a new attacker as the deadline looms.
Alexander Isak’s explosive statement this week accused Newcastle of “broken promises” and “lost trust”, with Liverpool still strongly linked with a move for the Swedish striker. The Reds’ offer of £110m fell short of Newcastle’s valuation and Eddie Howe described Isak’s statement as a “sad moment”.
Thomas Frank has brushed off Tottenham’s failure to sign Eberechi Eze by insisting he only wants players who want to wear the “fantastic badge” of the club.
Spurs were all set to capture Eze after reaching an agreement with Crystal Palace on Wednesday for a £60million plus £7.5m in extras deal until Arsenal hijacked the transfer of the England international, who has previously revealed he was a boyhood fan of the Gunners.
Spurs were beaten to the signing of Eberechi Eze by north London rivals Arsenal this week.
