QPR will receive a healthy money injection if former attacker Ebereechi Eze will complete his blockbuster relocation from Crystal Palace to Arsenal this week
Queens Park Rangers will receive a substantial financial boost as a former star Ebereechi Eze is £ 67.5 million transfer from Crystal Palace to Arsenal.
The Gunners have agreed a deal worth £ 60 million plus £ 7.5 million in add-ons for the English international that has hijacked Tottenham Hotspur's chase of one of the most popular talents of the Premier League's most wanted talents.
QPR, who sold Eze to Palace in 2020, placed a clause of 15 percent in that deal with regard to possible profit. And that means that the championship side is expected to drop around £ 7 million as soon as the transfer has been completed-an important windfall in view of the financial belt of the West London in recent years. Eze, released by Arsenal as a teenager, Eze rebuilt his career on Loftus Road before securing his move to Selhurst Park. Since then he has developed into a key figure for both club and country, which means that international recognition with the Three Lions is.
Arsenal with large editions had been withdrawn from a move for Eze in recent weeks, so that neighbors apparently let tracks in pole position to sign him. But an injury to Kai Havertz has led to an abrupt return – just like their rivals in North Londs were about to close their deal to bring the Thames.
Palace chairman Steve Parish and his counterpart of Tottenham Daniel Levy were locked up in conversations about a deal for Eze, but they have been refurbished. Eze has always preferred his youth club and personal conditions would never be a problem.
Arsenal Sporting Director Andrea Berta and vice-chairman Tim Lewis worked quickly to reach an agreement, with which Eze undergoes a medical after playing for Palace in their play-off match of the Conference League against Fredrikstad on Thursday.
Tottenham -Baas Thomas Frank wants to add creativity to his team after losing James Maddison to a serious knee injury. But the insistence of Palace that nothing would be sorted before their play-off match of the League League conference eventually saved their chances.
The Gunners have already spent more than £ 200 million to sign Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Crithian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga. They have difficulty discharging unwanted players, but have forced their hand by Havertz's injury, which makes them short.
Eze has made 167 performances for Palace since he came to the club from Queens Park Rangers in 2020 in a deal of £ 17 million. The 27-year-old would like to go back to Arsenal, the club he supported as a boy, where he will play in the Champions League and possibly challenge for the Premier League title.
