Arsenal attacker Eberechi Eze has revealed that he was “prepared” to join Tottenham before the Gunners jumped in to buy him over the summer. The Gunners signed Eze from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window in a deal worth £60m and an additional £7.5m in add-ons.

EBERECHI EZE SCORED against his old club as Arsenal recorded a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace at the Emirates to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League. Eze fired home from another Arsenal set-piece with a sumptuous half-volley six minutes prior to the interval before Gabriel struck the crossbar in the second half as Arsenal saw out their seventh consecutive victory.
