Welcome home, Ebere Eze ✊

We are delighted to announce the signing of Eberechi Eze on a long-term contract. The 27-year-old England international returns to north London, where his football journey began in the Arsenal academy before he rose to prominence as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic attacking talents. Joining Queens Park Rangers in 2016, Eze made his breakthrough in the 2019/20 season, being voted as QPR’s Player of the Year, before moving to the Premier League with Crystal Palace in 2020. During five seasons at Selhurst Park, Eze made more than 150 appearances, with his crowning moment coming in May, when he scored the winning goal in the Eagles’ historic FA Cup Final victory. On the international stage, Eze represented England at youth levels before earning his senior debut in 2023. He has since won 11 full England caps and was a member of the UEFA Euro 2024 squad. In March, Eze scored his first international goal in England’s 3-0 win over Latvia in a FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier. Sporting Director Andrea Berta said: “We are so pleased to have completed this deal to bring Eberechi to Arsenal. Eberechi is a creative and explosive talent with huge technical quality – also a big-game player, with his experience at international level with England also underlining his quality and character. There has been excellent teamwork across the club to make this transfer happen and we are very confident Eberechi will be an important addition to our squad as we continue to build for success.” Manager Mikel Arteta added: “We are absolutely delighted to bring Eberechi to Arsenal. He is a powerful and exciting player who will give us a new dimension in our attacking game. What stands out just as much as his talent and intelligence as a player, is the way he has worked hard throughout his career to get where he is today. His journey, his mentality, and his ambition are exactly what we want in our team, and we love how much it means to him and his family to be joining our club. We all look forward to start working
