Eberechi Eze will be Arsenal’s seventh summer signing, catapulting spending to £250 million, players agreeing to a four-year deal and wearing 10 shirts
Eberechi Eze sent a heartfelt message to Crystal Palace after completing his childhood dream move for club Arsenal on a transfer worth £67.5 million.
Eze will be Arsenal’s seventh summer signing, catapulting his spending to £250 million. England International has agreed to a four-year contract and will wear the No. 10 shirt.
One of Eze’s final acts for the palace was to win the winner in the FA Cup final against Manchester City in May and win the club’s first major silverware.
After the confirmation of his move to Arsenal, the midfielder posted a statement on his social media account. He said: “Five years, man. Crazy. Yesterday I feel like I was walking through the door to join from QPR. You gave me the opportunity to realize my dream of playing in the Premier League for the biggest club in South London.
“From the beginning, I set goals and set goals for what I wanted to achieve at the palace here, but I didn’t know what the last five years were in fact.

“They call us a Family Club, because it’s impossible to really understand that we are part of this club unless you’re there. They’re not wrong. They’re not wrong. They’re not wrong. They’re not wrong. They’re not wrong. They’ve supported me to exist in me, from the day I tore a long way of recovery for Achilles and the Villa to that night, until this day when I came back, until this day. My heart is forever.
“And that’s all before we make history together. LOL. Wembley, that journey. The words of the day are not enough to describe what we all experienced.
“So, after all this, what I really want to say is to you. Thank you for trusting me, thank you for giving me a chance, and for sharing the love that lasts for life.
Tottenham was scheduled to capture Eze after reaching an agreement with Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
Arsenal’s ruthless moves – at an initial £60 million charge before the performance-related add-ons – cutting down their rivals drew similarities with the controversial switch of Captain Sol Campbell, a controversial move of a free transfer to the Gunners in 2001.
The 27-year-old’s contract was announced 30 minutes before Arsenal’s first Premier League home game of the season with Leeds. It is understood that he will be given to the bull before kickoff.
“We are absolutely delighted to bring Ebebeki to Arsenal,” Arteta said.
“He is a powerful and exciting player that gives us a new dimension in our offensive game. What stands out as much as his talent and intelligence as a player is the way he worked so hard throughout his career to win the place he is today.
“His journey, his mentality, and his ambitions are exactly what we want with our team, and we love how meaningful it makes him and his family to join our club.
It was always possible given that a former Arsenal trainee took part in the last two years of deals at Selhurst Park this summer, and Tottenham first moved out earlier this month.
The Spurs refused to activate the £608 million release clause in Eze’s contract with Palace, which expired on the first day of the Premier League season and failed to proceed that weekend.
Kai Herberts’ knee injury then took action from the gunner, and Eze had previously stated his boyhood loyalty to Arsenal, which was an easy choice for the South Londoners after they had come across the asking price for the palace.
Eze completed medical care in London Colny on Friday and is currently Victor Gyoker (£55 million), defender Christian Mosquera (£13 million), midfielder Martin Zubimendi (£6 million), goalkeeper Kepa Alizabaraga (£5 million), midfielder Christian Norgaard (10m), £108.Emirates.
It is a statement of key intentions from Arsenal to win his first Premier League title in 22 years. Arteta claimed Friday that he is currently working with the best team of his six-year reign.
