How Arsenal won the signing of Eze and where he could fit in

In a surprising turn of events, Arsenal bid for Crystal Palace's Eze, with the player's boyhood fan connection influencing his decision to join Arsenal over Tottenham. The delayed transfer was prompted by an injury assessment for Kai Havertz, opening the door for Arsenal to secure Eze. Despite missing Palace's Europa Conference League play-off match, Eze is expected to sign with Arsenal soon, fulfilling a full-circle journey back to the club he was released by at a young age.
