Arsenal have made a dramatic move to hijack Tottenham Hotspur’s bid to sign Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze.

Eberechi Eze is now expected to join Arsenal after the Gunners came back in for him in the 11th hour, despite agreeing a move in principle to join north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur within the last 24 hours.

Arsenal have agreed a fee of close to £68 million ($92m) with Crystal Palace for midfielder Eberechi Eze, sources have told ESPN.
