Arsenal are not expected to complete the signing of Eberechi Eze in time for him to make his debut against Leeds on Saturday - but hope to wrap up the move over the weekend. The Gunners are closing in on a deal for Eze after agreeing a fee with Crystal Palace worth £60million upfront, plus £7.5m in add-ons.

Eberechi Eze will not play in Crystal Palace’s Europa Conference League play-off first leg against Fredrikstad on Thursday night ahead of his imminent move to Arsenal. Palace head coach Oliver Glasner said on Wednesday that Eze and club captain Marc Guehi would both start Thursday’s game despite their uncertain futures.
