Here we go (to the other side!) Romano: Eze to join Arsenal on over £60M deal

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are close to agreeing a deal with Crystal Palace to sign Eberechi Eze.

Romano: 🚨❤️🤍 BREAKING: Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between all parties.

Crystal Palace to receive package in excess of £60m as Eze preferred #AFC over Spurs.

Arsenal win race over Tottenham, been in advanced talks for days but never sealed.

Tottenham Hotspur believe Eze wants to join Arsenal and have moved on to other targets. Spurs felt they had an agreement in place with Palace and Eze on Wednesday.

Arsenal are pushing for a deal after they reignited their interest in Eze on Wednesday. As far as Spurs are concerned, they expect him to move to the Emirates.

Eze's release clause, worth £60m plus £8m in add-ons, expired before the Premier League season started. The 27-year-old has two years left on his contract at Selhurst Park.

Earlier on Wednesday, Spurs were considering offering Richarlison in a deal for Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze.

That would, in turn, free up striker space to try and sign Yoane Wissa, who played under Thomas Frank at Brentford.

What have Palace said about Eze?

Earlier on Wednesday, Oliver Glasner said that both Eze and Liverpool transfer target Marc Guehi will start in Thursday's Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad despite continued speculation.

"Many of you were surprised Marc (Guehi) and Ebs (Eze) started and played almost the whole game [at Chelsea]," Glasner told the media at his pre-match press conference. "Most of you will be surprised that they will start again [on Thursday] because of all the rumours.

"But they are committed to the team, they have a contract here. They played a crucial part that we could be successful and they will play a crucial part as long as they are here.

"They are good, they are committed to the team. When one of the players will leave, they want to leave as the guys who always gave 100 per cent for Crystal Palace. This is what they did since they signed many years ago and this is what we expect from them until the end of their contract, whenever this is."
