Overview
- Multiple outlets report Arsenal have an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace at around £60m plus £7.5m in add‑ons, matching the value of Eze’s recently expired clause.
- PA says the transfer could be confirmed as early as this weekend, pending completion of formalities.
- Eze was left out of Palace’s Conference League play‑off squad against Fredrikstad as the move advances.
- The Independent reports a Friday medical is booked, and Eze must be registered by noon Friday to be eligible to face Leeds.
- Spurs had been in pole position with an agreement in principle but did not trigger the clause, a stance that, per reporting, left them vulnerable to Arsenal’s late intervention.
