Tottenham Hotspur’s move for Eberechi Eze was hijacked by Arsenal.
The England international has been one of the biggest names in the transfer window in recent weeks after it became clear that he would be on the move.
Arsenal showed interest in Eze very early in the summer, but the Gunners’ focus had shifted to an out-and-out left winger after Ethan Nwaneri extended his contract.
That opened the door for Tottenham to land Eze, but after Kai Havertz’s injury, Arsenal pounced and pipped their local rivals to the Crystal Palace star’s signature.

Eberechi Eze had been on Tottenham’s radar for many years.
Spurs have constantly been linked with a move to sign him over the last few windows, but for one reason or another, no move materialised.
However, earlier in August, TBR Football confirmed, as reported by many others, that Tottenham were close to signing Eze for just over £60 million, including add-ons.
