Arsenal return for Eberechi Eze with player keen to join Gunners instead of Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur are set to lose out on the Eberechi Eze transfer deal to bitter rivals Arsenal.

In a remarkable development on Wednesday evening, it has been revealed that Arsenal have returned for the Crystal Palace playmaker.

Eze is a boyhood Arsenal fan and wants to make the move to the Gunners rather than Tottenham, who have been locked in negotiations with Palace over the past week.

The Athletic have reported that Arsenal have now made their move for the England international and have indicated a willingness to meet the conditions of Tottenham’s agreement with Palace.

With Eze wanting to move to Arsenal, Tottenham now have little option than to move onto other transfer targets in what appears to have been a complete waste of time.
