Former Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf has questioned Arsenal’s decision to hijack Tottenham’s move for Eberechi Eze. As late as Tuesday afternoon, Spurs appeared to be in the driving seat for the forward, with talks progressing over a deal for the 27-year-old.

Arsenal secretly secured a deal for Eberechi Eze, outmaneuvering Tottenham's delayed offer. The Gunners' decisive move, accelerated by Havertz's injury, highlights their strategic transfer approach and strengthens their title bid.

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.

Arsenal may be doubling down on a mistake after missing out on Eberechi Eze to their biggest rivals. Arsenal are reportedly set to tie one of their players down to a new contract after missing out on a key target.
