Transfer market don turn gist centre again. Na so we dey hear say Arsenal don show late interest for Crystal Palace baller, Eberechi Eze, and the moment wey the guy hear am, he no even think am twice – he sharply tell him agent make dem cut communication with Tottenham Hotspur.
This kain move no too shock people wey sabi Eze style. Because from small, the guy don dey dream say one day he go play for big club wey dey mix flair with class. Arsenal dey that level. Dem be London giants wey sabi carry young talented players develop dem into world class stars. Na the kind project wey Eze dey always admire.
Meanwhile, Tottenham don dey chase Eze since. Ange Postecoglou really rate the boy, he believe say Eze go add creativity and spark for Spurs midfield. Talks sef don dey progress small-small, but once Arsenal enter the gist, everything scatter. Na like say person dey toast babe steady, only for one fine rich guy come show face last minute. The babe go just change mind without thinking twice. Na the same thing happen here.
Why Arsenal sweet Eze like that? Simple. Arsenal dey fight for title. Last season dem nearly collect Premier League trophy, na only small mistake make Man City carry am again. Under Arteta, the club don turn serious, dem dey attract better ballers. Eze dey see himself as perfect fit for Arsenal system – him ball control, dribbling, confidence to face defenders, plus goals from midfield. Imagine am linking up with Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli and Jesus. Na pure sauce.
Tottenham on the other hand, even though dem dey try rebuild, no still get that big winning aura like Arsenal. Spurs dey always promise project, project, but at the end, trophy no dey come. And for player like Eze wey don already dey ball well for Crystal Palace, next move na to join title-contending club, not another rebuilding side.
As we dey talk, Eze relationship with Palace still dey smooth. The club know say him talent too big, bigger clubs go always come knock. Na why dem put heavy release clause for him contract. Reports dey talk say anybody wey wan sign am suppose drop between £60–70 million. Arsenal fit cough out that money if dem really wan seal am. Dem no dey fear invest when e reach quality talent.
Tottenham fans no go too happy with this development sha. Because dem don already dey dream how Eze go light up midfield with Son and Maddison. But football na business plus ambition matter. Player go always look where e future dey shine pass. If na you, you go choose Arsenal wey dey Champions League, dey challenge title, dey play attractive football – or Tottenham wey dey still struggle for consistency?
Na why Eze no waste time. Once him agent update am say “Arsenal dey interested,” he reply am quick: “Abeg, cut off Spurs matter, focus on Arsenal.” That kind thing dey happen steady for transfer market. Because players too get their preference. No be only club dey choose player, player dey choose club too.
If Arsenal succeed sign Eze, na one of the best deals of the window. Because the boy no just young (26 years), he still get room to peak higher. With Arteta coaching system, he fit turn world class within one season. Fans already dey excited, dey imagine how Emirates go shake when Eze dey glide past defenders like breeze.
For now, negotiation dey progress quietly. Tottenham side don freeze, Palace dey wait who go trigger clause, and Arsenal dey measure their financial balance. But one thing clear – Eze heart don already dey Emirates. Spurs no get chance again.
