- Eze not included in squad to face Fredrikstad
- Attacker poised to complete أرسنال يتحرك
- Gunners hijacked Spurs’ proposed transfer
Eze was expected to be included in Palace’s squad for the club’s first-ever match in Europe but boss Oliver Glasner has confirmed his absence. With his Arsenal medical expected in the next 48 hours, he has been whipped out of the squad.
The match against Fredrikstad was meant to be his last game for Palace before joining توتنهام but, in high drama on Wednesday, the Gunners swooped in and hijacked the move following an injury to Kai Havertz. Spurs fans are incandescent that their biggest rivals have humiliated them when for weeks they were the only team chasing the إنجلترا دولي.
Eze is heading back to his boyhood club and Arsenal fans are already rolling out the red carpet. The Hornsey Road Tunnel, a stone’s throw from the Emirates, has been decorated with a mural of Eze after he guaranteed himself cult hero status before he’s even kicked a ball for the club.
He’ll need to pass his medical and sign on the dotted line before deleting Palace’s fixture list from his phone and adding the Gunners’ calendar. The match against ليدز on Saturday will likely come too soon, but Arsenal’s next league fixture is against ليفربول on August 31.
