The Gunners have outmanoeuvred rivals Tottenham to secure the services of Eze, although no official announcement has been made at the time of writing. Arsenal have snatched Eze right under Spurs' nose, but the England international is not expected to feature at the Emirates on Saturday.

It felt for some time that Eberechi Eze would be a Tottenham player eventually, when suddenly Eze was signing for Spurs' biggest rival Arsenal. So how did it all go down?

Eberechi Eze is now expected to join Arsenal after the Gunners came back in for him in the 11th hour, despite agreeing a move in principle to join north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur within the last 24 hours.
