What landed Eberechi Eze, pictured above, officially on Arsenal’s radar This decision marks the end to a spectacular transfer saga in which North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur competed for his signature. The original deal is said to be worth about £60 million. It makes perfect sense, given Eze’s release clause of £68 million, and both clubs look to be prepared to activate it. Arsenal were able to successfully hijack that approach and convinced Eze to pick them over their North London rivals at the last moment.
The pivotal moment in Eze’s decision came after he met with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta. According to Meyer, their conversations were key in convincing him to go to the move. The prospect of joining a club with a rich history and ambitious plans for the future appealed to the player. Arsenal’s package for Eze is likely to be in excess of £60 million, showing just how far they are willing to go to obtain his talents.
