📌 Eze Snubbed Spurs, Chose Arsenal – A Transfer Earthquake in North London 🌪️
Wednesday evening turned into one of the most dramatic nights of the summer transfer window. Arsenal officially hijacked Tottenham’s long-pursued target, Eberechi Eze, agreeing to a £68M package to bring the Crystal Palace star to the Emirates.
Initially reported by David Ornstein, the news quickly gained traction, with Fabrizio Romano’s trademark “Here We Go” confirming that Eze would wear Arsenal red next season. Spurs, who had felt confident about closing the deal, were left frustrated as their North London rivals swooped in decisively.
For Arsenal fans, the announcement sent waves of excitement across social media, with many hailing it as the statement signing needed after Kai Havertz’s injury blow.

💰 What About Arsenal’s PSR and FFP Situation?
Naturally, questions were raised about how Arsenal could afford such a high-profile transfer given the strict Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) monitoring.
David Ornstein, speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, provided reassurance:
👉 Arsenal “had a lot of headroom” under PSR regulations, meaning the Eze deal doesn’t push them into dangerous financial waters.
👉 While some manoeuvring may be required for UEFA’s FFP compliance, there are no major causes for concern at this stage.
👉 Arsenal’s careful wage structure and smart player sales over recent windows have given them flexibility for such marquee signings.
