Eberechi Eze will undergo a medical with Arsenal today after a deal worth £67.5million was agreed with Crystal Palace, writes Dom Smith. The Gunners sensationally swooped in and hijacked Tottenham’s move for the Crystal Palace star on Wednesday, mere hours after Spurs had agreed a deal with both club and player.

Mikel Arteta has asserted that Arsenal ’s impending £60 million acquisition of Eberechi Eze is not a knee-jerk reaction to Kai Havertz ’s recent knee injury. The Gunners’ manager confirmed Havertz will miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Leeds at the Emirates, though the full extent of the Germany international’s layoff remains unclear.
