Arsenal ace Eze: I was ready to move to Tottenham

The England midfielder was all set to leave Crystal Palace for Tottenham in the final days of the summer market before Arsenal stepped in.

"I was ready to move to Tottenham, but from the moment Arsenal came into the picture I knew that was where I was going," he told The Athletic.

"Playing for Arsenal is more like a show or a theatre. There's more pressure and you're playing for titles. It's what I've always dreamed of."

Eze's contract with the London club runs until the summer of 2029, with an option for another year.
