According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal quickly decided to intervene in Eze's trade after learning that Havertz was injured. After they intervened, Eze himself had the only option to join Arsenal.
Arteta and Berta met Eze last month to express their interest in him and convince him to join. Eze was very happy, but Arsenal hadn't called after a few weeks. This is because of Envanelli's situation: After he successfully renewed his contract, Arsenal's demand for signing Eze was relatively reduced.
But last weekend things took another huge turn: Havertz suffered a knee injury, which led to Arsenal's "think tank": Arteta, Berta and others held a meeting to decide to take action quickly. Eze's name was mentioned, and Kroenke, who was in London at the time, approved the transfer.
Eze's agency brokerage firm has been close to Tottenham for many years, and when Tottenham learned that Arsenal was involved in the deal, they tried to use the relationship to prevent the Gunners from intercepting the Gunners.
But the fact is: Once Arsenal joins the competition, there is only one destination for the player. The agency told Tottenham that it was an emotional decision by the players and they could not change the outcome.
