“Yeah, a lot going on,” Eberechi Eze says, as he considers his summer just gone and laughs at the deliberate understatement. Where to start? Because there was so much drama, so many stunning details on his transfer journey from Crystal Palace to Arsenal, which almost took in a re-route to Tottenham. Actually, the last part is not completely true. Eze always wanted Arsenal and they were never going to let him go anywhere else.
How about at the beginning? On England duty, which is where Eze finds himself again, preparing to fly to Belgrade for the crunch World Cup qualifier against Serbia on Tuesday night. It was early June and he was in Barcelona, getting ready for England’s tie against Andorra. Thomas Tuchel had decided to take the players away for a week of warm-weather training and in the background for Eze was the drumbeat of speculation.
