Eberechi Eze mural surfaces outside Emirates Stadium ahead of Arsenal transfer
Arsenal supporters are clearly eager for Eberechi Eze to become part of their team. Just hours after the news emerged regarding his impending £60m transfer from Crystal Palace to north London, an enormous mural depicting the England international was unveiled near the Emirates Stadium. Eze, who assisted Palace in securing the FA Cup last season, had been rumored to be moving to Tottenham for several months, with a verbal deal allegedly in place. However, in a surprising twist, Arsenal made a last-minute approach to snatch the 27-year-old away from their rivals.

Northbanksy, a devoted Arsenal fan, shared the artwork on social media, proudly showcasing it in his self-styled Arsenal street art gallery labeled ‘The Tunnel.’ “Eberechi Eze of Arsenal Football Club,” he wrote on X alongside various images of the mural, including a selfie where he mimicked Eze’s pose. While numerous Arsenal fans quickly applauded Northbanksy for his creation and expressed their enthusiasm for Eze’s anticipated arrival at the club, some noted that Eze’s transfer has not been officially confirmed by either the Gunners or Palace at this time.

We’ll look foolish if this ultimately doesn’t happen.” Northbanksy, however, remained unfazed by the possible backlash, providing a classic artist’s reply: “That’s the risk I take.” Only time will reveal whether the mural will be seen as a brilliant move or one of the most audacious, and perhaps premature, declarations in the history of north London football.
