Arsenal pulled off a big move late in the summer transfer window by signing England forward Eberechi Eze, who was a reported target of north London rival Tottenham.

Eberechi Eze was announced as a new Arsenal attacker before kickoff at a delighted Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Arsenal have completed the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace after hijacking rivals Tottenham's deal for the talented midfielder.

The England international moves to the Emirates Stadium for an initial fee of £60m plus a potential £7.5m in add-ons.

Eberechi Eze then took his seat to watch his new teammates hammer Leeds, and his response to the third goal – scored by Viktor Gyokeres – was particularly telling.

A mural of Eberechi Eze which was painted near the Emirates Stadium has been defaced after the England international snubbed Tottenham to join Arsenal. The 27-year-old sealed his move back to his boyhood club ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Leeds.

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.

Theo Walcott reacts immediately to Arsenal signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace before the Premier League clash vs Leeds United.

Eze is lauded for his technical quality on the ball and is looking to bring an element of dynamism to the Gunners.

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.
