Eberechi Eze has been one of the key targets for Spurs this summer, with their pursuit of the Englishman dragging out for the majority of the window.

Arsenal pounced to beat north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to a deal on Wednesday, matching the Spurs offer and persuading Eze to join them instead. Spurs hadn’t finalised their agreement due to Palace wanting Eze to play the first leg of a Conference League play-off, which he subsequently didn’t feature in anyway.

According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur made a 'weekend offer' for England international Eberechi Eze and are 'set' to sign the Crystal Palace star.

After losing out on Eze, Spurs have turned their attention to West Ham United star Lucas Paqueta over recent days, potentially landing a bargain deal for the 27-year-old this window.

Akliouche enjoyed a breakout campaign in Ligue 1 last season, having teased his talent in 2023–24. He ended with 15 goal contributions in the league, including ten assists. The playmaker also started Monaco’s first Ligue 1 outing of the 2025–26 campaign, and completed their victory over Le Havre with a tap-in at the back post.

MIKEL ARTETA INSISTS Arsenal’s dramatic move to sign Eberechi Eze is not a panic reaction to Kai Havertz’s knee injury. Arteta confirmed Havertz will miss Arsenal’s Premier League clash against Leeds at the Emirates on Saturday but claimed it is still too early to say how long the Germany international will be sidelined for.
