Overview

• Arsenal confirmed Eze’s move from Crystal Palace, with Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta praising his qualities and fit for the attack.
• Multiple outlets report a fee worth up to about £67.5m, making him the seventh addition of a big-spending summer.
• The 27-year-old was unveiled at the Emirates before kickoff but missed the registration deadline and was unavailable to face Leeds.
• Arsenal beat Leeds 5-0 as Viktor Gyökeres scored twice on his home debut and Jurrien Timber added a brace, with Bukayo Saka also on the scoresheet.
• Saka and captain Martin Ødegaard left the match with injuries, and reports suggest Eze could debut at Liverpool next weekend with further attacking recruitment still under consideration.
