Eberechi Eze is about to leave Crystal Palace to join Arsenal, called to fill the void left by the long knee injury of Kai Havertz. The London club, which had quickly identified the English attacking midfielder as a priority target, reached an agreement with Palace for a transfer of around 78 million euros, an amount similar to that offered by Tottenham, also interested for several weeks.
Crystal Palace thus sees one of its most precious elements leaving, a situation that his coach Oliver Glasner commented with frankness: “I don't think he (Eze) will still play for us”. The Austrian technician deplores the lack of depth of his workforce and the speed with which this file has been carried out, highlighting the difficulties that the club will have to overcome to compensate for the loss of a key player. This transfer marks the end of an adventure for Eze.
