Fabrizio Romano confirmed, “All documents have been signed for Eberechi Eze to be considered as new Arsenal player. Deal sealed on player and club side with Crystal Palace. Done and completed.”

Mikel Arteta has asserted that Arsenal ’s impending £60 million acquisition of Eberechi Eze is not a knee-jerk reaction to Kai Havertz ’s recent knee injury. The Gunners’ manager confirmed Havertz will miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Leeds at the Emirates, though the full extent of the Germany international’s layoff remains unclear.
