Eberechi Eze could make his long-awaited Arsenal debut as soon as Saturday when the Gunners host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium

Oliver Glasner has told Arsenal they are signing a player who ‘never hides’ in Eberechi Eze. Arsenal have beaten Tottenham in the race to sign Eze this week after agreeing a £67.5 million deal with Palace. The England international has undergone his medical with the Gunners and his move to Mikel Arteta’s side is being finalised this weekend.

Arsenal pounced to beat north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to a deal on Wednesday, matching the Spurs offer and persuading Eze to join them instead. Spurs hadn’t finalised their agreement due to Palace wanting Eze to play the first leg of a Conference League play-off, which he subsequently didn’t feature in anyway.
