Eberechi Eze is on the verge of joining Arsenal after a summer-long transfer saga involving the player's future finally saw the Gunners gazump their North London rivals Tottenham to his signing.

Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal have not swooped for Eberechi Eze because Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury. Havertz has been dealing with a knee issue since last Sunday’s game at Old Trafford, which Arsenal won 1-0.

Akliouche enjoyed a breakout campaign in Ligue 1 last season, having teased his talent in 2023–24. He ended with 15 goal contributions in the league, including ten assists. The playmaker also started Monaco’s first Ligue 1 outing of the 2025–26 campaign, and completed their victory over Le Havre with a tap-in at the back post.

Arsenal could still make another signing after Eberechi Eze before the September 1 deadline, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Thomas Frank insists he only wants players who want to play for Tottenham Hotspur following Arsenal’s hijacking of an all but completed deal for Eberechi Eze.
