This summer, Premier League stars kept tools to get rid of movements, but Ebereechi of Crystal Palace kept his head down before he sealed his dream transfer to Arsenal
The professionalism of Ebereechi Eze for Crystal Palace, even though he knew that he will probably move this month exactly the kind of character that Arsenal gets. The Talisman Palace, 27, was apparently ready to join Tottenham to the Bombshell News on Wednesday evening that their rivals in North Londen had hijacked the deal.
The Gunners had cooled their interest in the international of England after they had agreed a contract extension for the 18-year-old Ethan Nwaneri. That opened the floor for Spurs to appear as favorites to land Eze, who was ready to make the move, but would rather have joined his boy's club, Arsenal, to his youth club.
Several days of difficult negotiations followed between Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Palace co-owner Steve Parish about a fee, only for Arsenal to set aside their bitter rivals by coordinating a deal with the South London Club. According to athletics, the Gunners made an offer in the region of Eze's £ 68 million release clause, which went earlier this summer, corresponding to the reimbursement rivals traces were prepared to pay.
Arsenal then quickly moved to agree on personal conditions with the attacking midfielder. The independent reports that they had already concluded the principles of an agreement with Palace in the morning of Sunday 10 August, but seemed to not want to follow that agreement, because they prefer to sign a left wing – until the injury of Voorwarte Kai Havertz left them offensively.
Van Eze is expected to undergo his medical after playing for Palace in Thursday's play-off at the conference of the Conference League against Fredrikstad, which will probably be his last game for the club that he was added in 2020. It shows the same exemplary attitude and dedication that the player has shown all summer long in his future.
Despite the fact that he made it clear to Palace that he was open to a new challenge, Eze did not reduce tools such as various other Premier League stars that we have seen in recent weeks, which has been playing in both competitive matches so far, because he had already etched his name in Club Folklore by winning the FA Cup and the Community Shield.
Eze will now become the seventh signing of Arsenal van de Raam among the new sports director Andrea Berta. And given how vocal the player has been in the past about his love for the Gunners, it is likely that he will give his everything in an Arsenal shirt.
Eze was once part of the Academy of North Londoners and made no secret of his heartache when he was released as a 13-year-old. The teenager at the time admitted that he could not concentrate on his training and continued to “cry a week” in his room.
Nevertheless, Eze's affection remained strong for the Emirates Stadium outfit, as he said in 2018, Thierry Henry was his idol and that Arsenal would win the competition that season.
He said, “When I was younger, I loved Thierry Henry, and that is a kind of why I decided to draw them. Just growing up with playing for them, I have become a love for them.”
Eze is planned for his 170th and final performance for Palace, during which time he scored 40 goals. He is 12 times off by England and scored once.
