According to The Athletic, Eze called Arteta before signing with Tottenham and lobbying England teammates who played for Arsenal to push for a deal.
This Wednesday, Eze was originally expected to sign with Tottenham, but before he finished writing, he called Arteta.
From a professional perspective, Eze is satisfied with joining Tottenham, but he has been an Arsenal fan since he was a child. Before signing any documents, Eze needs to confirm whether it is still possible to reach an agreement with Arsenal.
Eze's timing is perfect. Arsenal is caught off guard by the news that Havertz is absent from the sidelines. They are actively looking for solutions to strengthen their offense.
Arteta informed Eze that the club's board of directors would hold a meeting that afternoon. After the meeting, the ecstatic Eze learned that the transaction had been basically confirmed.
As of Wednesday night, the agreement reached between Arsenal and Crystal Palace included a basic transfer fee of £60 million and additional terms of up to £7.5 million. Eze's representative also agreed to a four-year personal clause that could be renewed for one year.
In addition to communicating with Arteta, Eze also lobbied England teammates who played for Arsenal to push the club to make a deal. Like Yorkress, the Gunners' ultimate determination to give everything to achieve their favorite transfer.
