Arsenal's stunning coup to snatch Eberechi Eze away from Spurs is a ruthless statement of intent, says BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty

Oliver Glasner has said that Eberechi Eze and Marc Guéhi will both start Crystal Palace's Conference League play-off first leg against Fredrikstad.

Eberechi Eze has snubbed Tottenham and is set to move to Arsenal after the Gunners reignited their interest in the Crystal Palace star on Wednesday.

When asked if Palace can recover if they lose both Eze and Guehu, Henderson added: "100%. We have lost players before and we survived through that. And we brought the best times to this football club.

Wright, as Eze hopes to imminently do, trod the now legendary path from south London to Arsenal. He has London spirit. London energy. London style. His personality, as well as his ability, is a big part of the attraction, and the connections he already shares with England team-mates at Arsenal ensure he would be welcomed with open arms.

The shock is even greater because he is hijacked by Arsenal. Crystal Palace's top winger, Eberechi Eze, is likely to head to Arsenal, not Tottenham. The BBC reported on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) that Arsenal agreed in principle with Crystal Palace ...

A lot of you had been asking why the Gunners weren't moving for Eze on our 'Ask about Arsenal' form, so we want to know what you think about this development - especially from under the noses of north London rivals Tottenham.
