Eberechi Eze is reportedly undergoing medical ahead of his move from Crystal Palace to Arsenal.
The England international is expected to move to the Emirates for a fee of around £60 million plus £7.5 million in add-ons, which is comparable to the previous release clause that was in place before the new Premier League season commenced.
Mikel Arteta will want to incorporate the midfield player into the team as quickly as possible. It seems improbable, though, that the necessary preparations will be completed in time before the midday deadline on Friday afternoon for him to play against Leeds United tomorrow.
According to Premier League rules, players must register for their new clubs at 12 p.m. on the last working day before their next game.

It appears like Eze’s chances of making his Emirates Stadium debut have been dashed as Arsenal moved quickly at the end of this week to steal the move from Spurs following Kai Havertz’s injury.
Thus, it makes sense that when Arsenal visit Anfield next week, he might get his first chance at Liverpool. It is hoped that he will be there for the Saturday afternoon game against Leeds, where his new teammates will try to win two consecutive games to open the season.
Before the action over the weekend takes place, Mikel Arteta will address the media. It’s unclear if the Spaniard will be interested in talking about the deal because Arteta usually takes a firm stance when discussing players who aren’t officially revealed during a news conference.
