Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Three Lions star, Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace on a long-term contract.
The club agreed a deal worth £60m including £8m in add-ons. Eze returns to the club where he began his football career in the Arsenal academy.
Eze’s singing was confirmed by Andrea Berta, Arsenal’s sporting director on the Gunners website on Saturday.
“We are so pleased to have completed this deal to bring Eberechi to Arsenal. Eberechi is a creative and explosive talent with huge technical quality – also a big-game player, with his experience at international level with England also underlining his quality and character,” Berta said.
“There has been excellent teamwork across the club to make this transfer happen and we are very confident Eberechi will be an important addition to our squad as we continue to build for success.”
He joined Queens Park Rangers in 2016 and was voted the club’s Player of the Year before moving to Crystal Palace where he spent five years, making over 150 appearances and winning the FA Cup and remarkably scoring the winning goal in the final.
He represented England at youth levels and made his senior debut for the country in 2023 and has won 11 caps.
Eze was a subject of interest from Thomas Frank’s Tottenham. Spurs joined the chase officially on Wednesday but he chose to join Arsenal where he began his career. He will wear the number 10 jersey.
