Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri will be under pressure to deliver at the Emirates Stadium this season after the Gunners opted not to pursue a transfer for Eberechi Eze. The 18-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season in north London last time around and penned a new contract in the summer.

THE summer transfer window is heading towards a thrilling climax – and Arsenal’s business is definitely far from over! Arsenal have recieved a major boost in their pursuit for Real

Transfer news LIVE!Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all aiming to complete some big deals before the summer transfer window closes. The Gunners look set to miss out on the signing of Eberechi Eze as bitter rivals Tottenham are firmly in the driver's seat.

According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur made a 'weekend offer' for England international Eberechi Eze and are 'set' to sign the Crystal Palace star.

However, TBR Football revealed that Arsenal’s move for Eze is off, as things stand, and that is great news for Ethan Nwaneri. The reason why the Gunners are not pushing for Eze is that they already have Martin Odegaard, young Max Dowman and Nwaneri himself.

When Arsenal released Eberechi Eze from their academy at the age of 13, he spent a week in his bedroom, inconsolable. Growing up in south London, it was Eze’s dream to play for Arsenal.
