Report: Arsenal set to announce Eberechi Eze signing today

Arsenal are set to confirm the signing of Eberechi Eze today, with the midfielder currently undergoing his medical in North London.

Every effort is being made behind the scenes to finalise the paperwork by midday, ensuring that the 27-year-old could be included in Mikel Arteta’s squad for tomorrow’s clash with Leeds United.

The deal represents a major coup for the Gunners, who have been pushing hard all summer to add more creativity and drive into their midfield and attacking units. After failing to play for Palace in their European qualifier yesterday, both Arsenal and Crystal Palace working swiftly to get the finer details completed.

If all goes to plan, Eze will be officially unveiled later today and potentially even make his debut at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow evening. Adding a player of Eze’s quality at this moment could give Arteta a huge boost heading into a crucial run of games.

Eze has been on Arsenal’s radar for some time, with the club identifying him as a priority target early in the window. Palace had been reluctant to sell, but the lure of Champions League football and Arsenal’s ambition proved decisive. The North London club were also able to use their strong relationship with Palace — and the fact they have players like Jakub Kiwior potentially available for sale — to help sweeten discussions.

The 27-year-old enjoyed one of his best seasons in the Premier League last term, showcasing his versatility as both a central midfielder and attacking option. His close control, ball progression and eye for goal are qualities Arsenal believe will slot seamlessly into Arteta’s system.

If registered in time, Eze could feature against Leeds in tomorrow’s evening kick-off, a moment that would cap off an exciting 24 hours for the Arsenal faithful.
