Arsenal has officially announced the signing of Eze, and it is reported that the transfer fee is nearly 67 million pounds. Reporter Ben Jacobs revealed that Arsenal completely finalized Eze's transfer in just a few hours on Wednesday.

The reporter said that Eze has joined from Crystal Palace, with a contract term of 4+1, a transfer fee of 60 million pounds plus floating terms. Eze will wear the No. 10 jersey.

As the jersey number shows, Eze is regarded as a No. 10 player, but he is also competent for the left and right wings. This multi-faceted attribute is regarded as a plus by the club.

Arsenal is also impressed by his character and charm on and off the court. Eze's deal was finalized in just a few hours this Wednesday, and the meeting between players in July had been secretly launched, and both

Berta and Tim Lewis were involved in the negotiations in depth; Kroenke Jr. also came forward in person. Kroenke Jr. stayed in England for the PFA awards ceremony this week and appeared at the Leeds today's game.

Havertz's injury uncertainty contributed to the acceleration of the transfer, but Arsenal's interest in Eze had emerged as early as June. Although Eze had previously negotiated personal terms with Tottenham, after learning that Arsenal was about to take action, he only wanted to go to the Gunners. During his first meeting in July, Eze made it clear to Arsenal that he would join without hesitation. Now, as a gun fan, Eze returns to his childhood love for the first time since 2011.
