Ebereechi Eze will almost certainly become an Arsenal player, despite the fact that he is looking for Tottenham, although images of him express his love for the Gunners, prove that his dream destination was never doubted
Ebereechi Eze seems to sign for Arsenal after they entered to steal him from rivals Tottenham's nose. And old images of the Crystal Palace star who explains his love for the Gunners proves that the movement was intended.
The side of Mikel Arteta launched a fast and successful relocation for Eze on Wednesday evening and in principle a deal corresponded to a value of approximately £ 68 million. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy had already negotiated a £ 60 million package for the English international before Gunners Executive Vice-Chairman Tim Lewis' relationship with Palace Chief Steve Parish saw that they jump their rivals and saw a £ 60 million plus £ 7.5 million in Add-us-deal.
The 27-year-old wants to play one last time for the Eagles when they are confronted with Fredrikstad on Thursday evening in a play-off from the conference. Baas Oliver Glasner, however, can be forced to exclude him from excluding injury. Nevertheless, Eze seems like a fate to become an arsenal player, and if old images of the attacker are something to pass by, this movement has been written in the stars for some time.
When Eze was a budding prospect for Queens Park Rangers, he was interviewed and asked who his favorite team was. Given that the then-20-year-old was originally part of the Hale End Academy of the Gunners before being released at the age of 13, his answer was clear.
“Arsenal. I just supported them from Young,” Eze replied to Alessandro Morolli-Schiavone, with four words that further summarize his feelings. “They are my favorite team.”
He added: “The way they play. I played with them when I was younger. When I was younger, I loved Thierry Henry, and that is a kind of why I decided to draw them for them. Just growing up with playing for them, I have become a love for them.”
Eze was also asked if he would leave, Arsenal would come in for him, although he gave a diplomatic answer and answered: “I know nothing about all of that. I am now a QPR player and I am happy that I play for QPR.”
The Gunners were also Eze's Pick for winning the Premier League that year, the 2018/19 season, as when he was asked who his champions were, explained: “Arsenal. I somehow believe.” The side of Noord -Londen finished fifth.
Although he cried for a week after he was released by Arsenal when he was a 13-year-old Academy star, Eze's love for the Gunners is clear. Personal conditions were no problem when Arsenal revived the negotiations for the 27-year-old, whose signing would help the blow of losing Kai Havertz by reducing injury.
Eze's football career started in Arsenal, although he was also part of Fulham, Reading and Millwall's Academies before his move to QPR in 2016. He broke into the first team and earned a £ 17 million move to Palace in 2020.
Since then he has scored 39 goals in 167 games for the Eagles, of which 14 previous term came. One of those strikes won the FA Cup for Palace when she surpassed 1-0 from Manchester City in May. Before the final, Eze was asked about his breathtaking technical skills and he gave a reaction that Arsenal fans will excite.
“It is easy to lose sight of, especially the type of player I am, why I do what I do,” said Eze BBC Sport for the FA Cup final and discussed his skills. “Why am I run with the ball? Why am I trying things? Why am I creative? Why do I do things that players might not think of doing?
“The reason is that the people who look. It is what you do with people in the stands and how you can get people out of their feet; that's what football is about. It feels like football starts to shift a little, and there may not be that much of that, but as long as I play, I want to do everything.”
