Still seeking reinforcements for their attack, Arsenal were reportedly keen on Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who now seems bound for their North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur. Though the number 10 could have been a brilliant addition for the Gunners, there is perhaps someone they could sign who is better suited to their needs.

Referee England overturned his on-field decision, but explained that the free-kick was ruled out because Guéhi, after successfully shifting Caicedo, had moved to within a metre of the Chelsea wall, which is an infringement in itself. The goal wasn’t ruled out because of the Palace captain’s contact with the Ecuadorian.

Eberechi Eze may have to wait until after Crystal Palace play their Europa Conference League play-off match at the end of the month before any potential deal for him is agreed. There has been no firm offer from Tottenham Hotspur for Eze despite reports of interest in the England international.

No Arsenal player posted a higher xG in the Premier League than Eze, and he was one of just 25 players to hit double figures for that metric across the league, as per Footystats.

However, TBR Football revealed that Arsenal’s move for Eze is off, as things stand, and that is great news for Ethan Nwaneri. The reason why the Gunners are not pushing for Eze is that they already have Martin Odegaard, young Max Dowman and Nwaneri himself.
