If including Eberechi Eze, Arsenal's total transfer fee in the summer of 2025 up to nearly £ 300 million. That strong investment showed the great ambition of the London capital team.
According to the latest news from The Athletic newspaper, Arsenal basically agreed with the terms with Crystal Palace in the transfer of Eberechi Eze. Accordingly, the British star will join the Emirates with a transfer fee of 68 million pounds – meaning more than £ 8 million compared to Tottenham's previous recommended fee. It is expected that Eze will play the final note in the Crystal Palace with Fredrikstad at the UEFA Conference League, then immediately go to London to check health with Arsenal.
This can be considered a shocking “turning” on the summer transfer market this year. Because it was only a few days earlier, the British media reported that Tottenham defeated Arsenal in the race to win the signature of midfielder Eberechi Eze. The reason the Emirates Stadium fiercely drew this incident is also partly because they have just lost the attack star Kai Havertz – a versatile player can play well both in the role of public midfielder and striker. According to initial information, the German player suffered a serious knee injury and will have to be away from the pitch for months.
But besides the reason for Havertz's injury, the recruitment of Eberechi Eze in a glamorous way shows Arsenal's ambition to dominate. London's leadership is ready to spare money for coach Mikel Arteta to have the desired contracts, to complete the squad, ready for the English Premier League championship in the 2025/26 season. More than ever, the Gunners are full of determination to be for the first time since the 2003/04 season became the champion of the foggy country.
Again, before deciding to invest 68 million pounds in Eze, the Gunners also spent about 200 million pounds to shop in the summer market this year. In particular, the notable rookies arrived at the Emirates including the center of Viktor Gyokeres (moved from Sporting Lisbon), Noni Madueke (Chelsea) winger, defensive midfielder Martin Zubendi (Real Sociedad), center -back Cristian Mosquera (Valencia) … It can be affirmed that since moving to Emirates, MiKel Artet has never In the hands of the squad there is depth as this season.
Arsenal is actually not missing the stars attacking in the current squad, to the point of having to frantically recruit Eberechi Eze after Kai Havertz's injury. What they are missing is a smart player, capable of playing and creating, always ready to spark the Gunners' attack on the ball, and can explode with life goals. Coach Mikel Arteta can find all these qualities in the brightest star in the squad of Crystal Palace last season.
In the match at the opening round of the Premier League in the 2025/26 season, Arsenal excelled to defeat the host MU with a score of 1-0 thanks to the goal of defender Riccardo Calafiori. But it was a somewhat lucky victory for the Gunners. During the competition, Arsenal was often overwhelmed by MU. The team from the London capital played a stalemate and proved creative in situations on the ball. With a “running machine” with speed, technique, good experience in pressing and actively put the ball to the front like Eze, Arsenal's weaknesses can be completely overcome.
In other words, if the appearance of Viktor Gyokeres is a necessary condition for Arsenal to head to the Premier League championship for the first time in more than two decades of waiting, Eberechi Eze is a sufficient condition for the Gunners to fulfill their hegemony ambition. Again, English players are very versatile. In addition to the position of the public midfielder, the star has contributed greatly to help Crystal Palace win the FA Cup last season to play well as a winger, striker, even when needed can back down the central midfielder.
In short, Eberechi Eze is the perfect piece for Arsenal's King's ambition!
