“I was completely shocked this morning when the board informed me of the exact date for my Arsenal medical. I’ve made huge sacrifices to be part of Arteta’s project, and now it’s finally happening,” Eberechi Eze shared, revealing the board’s message about his scheduled medical with the Gunners

In a revelation that has set the football world buzzing, Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze has confirmed that he has received official communication from Arsenal regarding the date of his medical with the North London club. Speaking at a press conference earlier today, the England international admitted he was stunned when the news came through.

> “I was completely shocked this morning when the board informed me of the exact date for my Arsenal medical. I’ve made huge sacrifices to be part of Arteta’s project, and now it’s finally happening,” Eze revealed.

The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, with Mikel Arteta reportedly pushing for his signing to add creativity and flair to the Gunners’ midfield. Known for his dribbling, vision, and ability to change the tempo of a game, Eze is expected to bring a fresh attacking dimension to the squad.

Sources suggest Arsenal have been in advanced negotiations with Crystal Palace over a deal worth in excess of £60 million, with personal terms already agreed. The confirmation of the medical date all but seals what could be one of the biggest transfers of the summer window.

Eze, who has enjoyed standout performances in the Premier League and earned his place in the England national team, hinted that joining Arsenal has been a personal goal — particularly under Arteta’s guidance.

> “From the first conversation I had with the manager, I knew this was the right step for me. His vision for the team and the way he wants to play — I’m ready to give everything for it,” Eze added.

If all goes according to plan, the medical will take place within the coming days, and Eze could be unveiled as an Arsenal player before the end of the week. Arsenal fans will be eager to see how quickly he can slot into the squad as they push for domestic and European glory this season.

With this signing, Arteta continues to build a squad stacked with technical quality and youthful energy — and Eberechi Eze might just be the next big piece in the Gunners’ puzzle.
