Eberechi Eze has been left out of Crystal Palace’s team for its Conference League playoff match on Thursday amid reports the England forward is about to join Arsenal.

Eze is now poised to follow striker Viktor Gyokeres (£55m), defender Cristhian Mosquera (£13m), midfielder Martin Zubimendi (£60m), goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5m), midfielder Christian Norgaard (£10m) and forward Noni Madueke (£48.5m) in making the switch to the Emirates.

It felt for some time that Eberechi Eze would be a Tottenham player eventually, when suddenly Eze was signing for Spurs' biggest rival Arsenal. So how did it all go down?
