Arsenal poked fun at Tottenham as they confirmed the blockbuster signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.Eze was all set for a move to Spurs, with a deal all but agreed with Crystal Palace and the player.Eze is officially an Arsenal player after one of the most dramatic hijacks in transfer historyGettyBut after an injury to Kai Havertz, the Gunners swooped in and quickly agreed their own deal, with boyhood Arsenal fan Eze preferring a move to the Emirates.The England forward joins for an initial £60million, plus £7.5m in potential add-ons.And Spurs found themselves not-so-subtly referenced in Eze’s Arsenal unveiling on Saturday. “It was only ever Arsenal,” the club wrote on social media.“A boyhood Gooner, our new number 10 – welcome home, Ebere.”The 27-year-old was handed the No.10 shirt – following in the footsteps of Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Robin van Persie.We also can’t forget talkSPORT’s Perry Groves as well, who donned the ten while playing for the Gunners.Eze was released by the Gunners as a teenager, but once Arsenal made their move, he was only going to end up at the Emirates.The London giants have followed the England international for a long time, and he has signed a four-year contract.Arsenal see him as someone who can play on either wing or down the middle, and ahead of playing Leeds, Arsenal introduced him.View Tweet: https://t.co/k3h67d4rg7And it is a deal that Mikel Arteta is delighted about.Speaking to the club’s website, he said: “We are absolutely delighted to bring Eberechi to Arsenal. He is a powerful and exciting player who will give us a new dimension in our attacking game. What stands out just as much as his talent and intelligence as a player, is the way he has worked hard throughout his career to get where he is today. “His journey, his mentality, and his ambition are exactly what we want in our team, and we love how much it means to him and his family to be joining our club. We all look forward to start working with Eberechi soon.”How did Arsenal pull it off?For at least a week, it appeared as if Eze was destined to join Tottenham.At the start of the window, the Gunners registered their interest in the 27-year-old.But after Ethan Nwaneri signed a new deal, the interest disappeared.However, the Havertz injury changed everything.Speaking about why Arsenal came back in, talkSPORT’s Ben Jacobs said: “Kai Havertz picked up a knee injury and Arsenal said ‘we’ve done all of the leg work so let’s move’.“Eze was therefore faced with a straight choice of Arsenal or Spurs and in that scenario with both having a club-to-club agreement, Eze was always going to pick Arsenal.”
