Telegraph: Arsenal reconsider Eze and finalizes him because Tottenham Crystal Palace has not reached a complete agreement
The Daily Telegraph reported that because Tottenham has not yet fully finalized Eze's deal, Arsenal finally successfully intercepted the nobility.
As a result of Havertz's knee injury, Arsenal is very worried about his injury, and although he is still waiting for his full diagnosis, it has hit head coach Arteta's plan. Arsenal did not waste time and quickly regained his interest in Eze and tried to sign him from Spurs.
Tottenham had agreed to the terms of the deal proposed by Crystal Palace on Wednesday and reached an agreement with Eze on personal terms when the player was ready to join Tottenham. But Crystal Palace has not completely finalized the transfer because they hope Eze will participate in the Europa League playoff against Fredericksta on Thursday night.
This allowed Arsenal to join the competition late Wednesday afternoon and agreed to the deal proposed by Crystal Palace: Eze's initial transfer fee is £60 million, plus a floating clause of £7.5 million. Sports director Berta led the chase.
Eze is more inclined to join Arsenal. He has a deep connection with the club. Not only was he a former Arsenal fan, he also started his youth training career with the team, while Tottenham insisted that they have given all their money to facilitate this transfer.
It is reported that if Eze turns to Arsenal, Tottenham is ready to turn to other goals, but this will be a heavy blow for new coach Frank and chairman Levi. Tottenham has achieved some signing results this summer, signing Kudus and Palinia and renewing the contract with Romero. But the club had missed Gibbs White before. If Eze is snatched away by Arsenal, it will undoubtedly anger the fans.
Sources originally expected Arsenal would initially consider a loan market or look for low-priced options to fill Havertz's vacancy. But because Tottenham failed to finalize Eze's deal, Arsenal quickly regained his interest. Insiders said that Arsenal had said this week that the club will only invest heavily in signings after completing the player's sale. Whether signing Eze now will lead to discovery of some players leaving the team remains to be seen. Trosad was previously rumored to be leaving the team, but he eventually renewed his contract with better conditions.
Tottenham even discussed the possibility of letting Richarlison join Crystal Palace in reverse to free up funds and places, and then compete with Newcastle United for Visa.
