Tottenham is in a state of shock. Chairman Daniel Levy, who spearheaded the negotiations, left an irreversible wound.
Eberechi Eze (27, Crystal Palace), who was likely to go to Tottenham, will head to Northern London rival Arsenal. British media, including 'BBC', reported on Eze's trip to Arsenal on the 21st (Korean time).
The BBC reported that Arsenal shocked Tottenham by transfusing Eze in a ruthless coup, adding that they thought Tottenham had signed Eze, and the possibility of a combination of cash and Hasalisson was also discussed, but Arsenal moved quickly as Kai Havertz was likely to be sidelined for a while.
Chairman Levy agreed to a transfer agreement with Palace, as well as individual terms and conditions. Palace, however, refused to confirm before their Europa Conference League match against Norway's Fredrik Starr"'Arsnall jumped back into the recruitment race due to Havertz's injury and succeeded in hijacking.'"
Fabrizio Romano, an expert in European transfer markets, went one step further and chanted "HERE WE GO". He agreed that Arsenal would sign Eze from Palace, and everything was done. A contract worth 60 million pounds (about 113 billion won) was signed. Havertz's injury was the reason for the bid'Arnall offered better conditions than Tottenham. Ed also preferred to join Arsenal over Tottenham.

Arsenal reportedly met the expired Eze 'Buyout' clause. It guaranteed an additional 8 million pounds (15 billion won) for the basic transfer fee of 60 million pounds. On the other hand, Tottenham's proposed transfer fee to Eze is 55 million pounds (about 103.5 billion won). He even tried to recruit him by adding a hichali song, but it didn't come true.
In the case of Havertz, long-term absence is said to be inevitable due to a knee injury. Eze is expected to move to Arsenal after playing in the Europa Conference League play-off against Frederick Star on the 22nd.
Eze is a trend that requires no explanation. His shares have risen each season since he moved to Palace from QPR (Queens Park Rangers) in August 2020. I hit my career high last season. He played in 43 matches and scored 14 goals in all competitions.
In particular, he scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final (1-0 win) against Manchester City in May, giving him his first trophy in 120 years since its foundation in 1905. On the 10th, he beat Liverpool after a penalty shootout and lifted the Community Shield trophy.
Tottenham sought to recruit Eze as an alternative resource for James Maddison, who was virtually declared 'season out' due to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery on his right knee. Madison took the ground with a substitute in the 30th minute of the second half in two Coupang Play Series games against Newcastle United at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. However, he left the ground nine minutes later complaining of a knee injury.

Madison was carried off on a stretcher and held his head in his hands, signaling a serious injury. It was a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the right knee. He recently underwent surgery. Eze was expected to fill Son Heung-min's (LAFC) gap by being able to stand in the center as well as on the side, but it was not meant to be in the end.
Eze is Arsenal's former team. During his youth days, he started playing soccer for Arsenal. When he was released by Arsenal in 2011, he once said he cried for a week. I got a chance to make up for that lost time.
That's not all. It is also not easy to recruit Manchester City winger Savinho (21), who has been selected as Son's replacement. Guillaume Balage, who boasts a 'here we go' level of credibility, said on the 19th that 'Man City have decided not to transfer Savinho.'
