Although there were no cracks in the field this season yet, Arsenal has already managed to give a painful blow to the Tottenham city rival – and it out of the field.
Namely, Spurs have worked intensively on the transfer of Eberechi Ezea from Crystal Palace, especially after James Maddison injury.
The agreement between the leaders of Spurs and Palace was practically achieved – the transfer value was estimated at around 70m euros.
However, Arsenal has been included in the last moments. Sports Director “Topnika”, Andrea Berta, contacted Crystal Palace leaders and submitted an identical offer.
Eze, otherwise known as a long-term arsenal fan, did not think long – he refused Tottenham and gave the green light to move to Emirates.
According to the available information, the EZE will play the last match in Palace’s last match against Frederikstad in the Play-Off Conference League, and for Friday, he should perform medical examinations and become a new arsenal player.
This transfer represents a great victory of arsenal on the transfer market, but also symbolic “triumph” over the largest rival before the season starts seriously at all.
