Overview

• Eberechi Eze’s move from Crystal Palace is complete after all documents were signed, according to Fabrizio Romano.
• Eze was not registered by the 12pm Friday deadline and will miss today’s Leeds match, with a potential first appearance suggested next week at Liverpool.
• The deal caps a summer intake of seven major arrivals and roughly £250–260m in spending, including Viktor Gyökeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Nørgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
• Mikel Arteta says he now has the most complete squad of his tenure and signaled more movement is possible, while sales are being pursued to trim numbers and costs, with reports linking Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jakub Kiwior, Fábio Vieira and others to exits.
• Arsenal beat Tottenham to Eze after a late swoop, captain Martin Ødegaard praised Zubimendi’s impact, and pundits say the strengthened squad raises expectations for trophies.
