Eze, who first made his professional debut with Queens Park Rangers after playing for Arsenal's youth team, moved to Crystal Palace in 2020 and began playing in the English Premier League (EPL). From the 2023-2024 season, the name was announced in earnest. He played in 31 games for Crystal Palace and scored 11 goals and 6 assists, showing tremendous performance, and led Palace to the FA Cup with 14 goals and 12 assists in 43 official games in the 2024-2025 season. He returned to his childhood team wearing an Arsenal uniform and got the opportunity to play.
Eze was initially likely to transfer to Tottenham, not Arsenal. Tottenham entered a new game under Thomas Frank this summer with Son Heung-min's departure from the club. Tottenham's special effort was also an attack. The transfer market opened and quickly embraced Mohamed Kudus, and he began to look for a player who could fill Son Heung-min's vacancy.

It was considered a resource that could fill the vacancy of Son Heung-min and James Madison at Tottenham because of its versatility to play offensive midfielders and left wingers, colorful dribbles, excellent passes and visibility. Tottenham immediately made an active recruitment. Tottenham succeeded in reaching a personal agreement with Eze, and it was reported that it was close to signing a contract with Palace, and that it was close to signing the transfer document.
But a reversal happened. Arsenal's participation in the war completely turned the situation upside down. Arsenal immediately began recruiting Eze after Kai Havertz was likely to leave due to a long-term injury. When Arsenal reached out to courtship, Eze decided to head straight to Arsenal instead of Tottenham. Global sports media The Athletic said 'Arnall reached an agreement with Palace to sign Eze' In the end, Eze confirmed his joining of Arsenal and met Tottenham as an enemy.
