Another name is ready to graduate from the Mill. Eberechi Eze was set for a move to north London and, even after a late twist, that remains the case. Tottenham were pushing for Crystal Palace’s FA Cup Final hero but Arsenal shot up a hand just before the gavel hit.
It makes for a romantic script – even if Spurs would rather shred it, set it on fire and dispose of the ashes – with Eze rejoining the club he was released by as a boy. Does that stop Arsenal being linked with Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, price quoted at £80m? Possibly. Possibly not.
