Eberechi Eze will undergo a medical at Arsenal, with Tottenham to miss out on the Crystal Palace star despite planning to send Richarlison the other way.

Eberechi Eze will not play for Crystal Palace in their Europa Conference League playoff game against Fredrikstad ahead of his move to Arsenal. There had been some doubt over whether the attacking midfielder would feature for the Eagles on Thursday night.

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.

Following their Eberechi Eze failure, Tottenham now want to sign Nico Paz despite his preference to join Real Madrid.

Eberechi Eze has withdrawn from the Crystal Palace squad for the Conference League clash with Fredrickstad ahead of his transfer to Arsenal.
