Arsenal spectacularly hijacked Tottenham Hotspur’s deal for Eze to not only deliver a bitter blow to their local rivals, but hugely improve their attacking options ahead of September’s transfer deadline. The versatile attacking midfielder has joined Viktor Gyökeres and Noni Madueke as forward additions at the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Eze has undergone a medical with Arsenal and an official announcement of a £67.5million deal is expected imminently. Meanwhile, Arsenal fan ‘North Bansky’ celebrated the deal by stencilling an image of Eze on a tunnel outside the Emirates Stadium. The mural showed Eze in an Arsenal shirt doing his trademark celebration.

Arsenal have completed the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace after hijacking rivals Tottenham's deal for the talented midfielder.
