Arsenal convinced Eberechi Eze to join the club in a meeting last month, a report has claimed, with the Gunners finally pulling the trigger on their pursuit of the Crystal Palace midfielder on Wednesday.
Eze was widely expected to join Tottenham Hotspur, who appeared to be the only suitor in the race for his signature for the majority of the past few weeks, but Arsenal swooped in to strike a deal to bring Eze to the Emirates Stadium instead.
