Eberechi Eze Says Arsenal’s Late Move Sealed His Choice Over Spurs

He frames the switch as the fulfilment of a long-held ambition, signaling a focus on winning during his early adaptation under Mikel Arteta.

Overview

  • Eze told The Athletic he was prepared to join Tottenham before deciding instantly on Arsenal once their late approach arrived.
  • A reported £67.5m signing after a 14-goal, 12-assist season at Crystal Palace, he returned to the club he once left as a youth player.
  • He has made 10 appearances so far, registering three assists and scoring his first Arsenal goal against Port Vale in the Carabao Cup.
  • In a word-association segment for Premier League Productions, he summed up Arsenal with a single word: “Win.”
  • Recent analysis notes he has struggled to influence games in an out-and-out No 10 role during Martin Ødegaard’s absence, with suggestions he is likelier to thrive from the left channel.
