Nigerian international Eberechi Eze has officially completed a major transfer to Arsenal, with an agreement worth £67.5 million, including £60 million guaranteed and £7.5 million in bonuses. This transfer comes after a fierce battle with Tottenham Hotspur, who appeared close to signing the Crystal Palace player. This deal makes Eze one of the most expensive transfers for an African player in the Premier League to date.
The 27-year-old attacking midfielder, known for his creativity and goal-scoring ability, was still under contract with Crystal Palace for two more years. According to specialized press, Eze is expected to undergo a medical soon before being officially presented in his new colors. His signing is a key part of Arsenal’s strategy to strengthen their attack ahead of the 2025-2026 season.
This signing occurs at a crucial moment, with Arsenal accelerating efforts to compensate for strategic injuries, including that of Kai Havertz. The heavily publicized transfer confirms the Gunners’ determination to build a competitive team capable of competing at the highest level, relying on African talents like Eze, who combines power and technique.
Eze’s transfer has also generated enthusiastic reactions among Arsenal supporters who see him as a player able to bring real value to the offensive front. His arrival is expected to act as a catalyst to energize the Gunners’ play and increase their chances of success across all competitions this year.
