Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze is going to play in their Europa Conference League clash, amid deal agreed reports with Arsenal, according to Ed Aarons.
The Gunners are closing in on the signing of Eze, with GIVEMESPORT correspondent Fabrizio Romano confirming that Arsenal have hijacked Tottenham Hotspur's move to sign the England international. Eze looked set to be joining Tottenham, but Arsenal swooped in after it was confirmed that Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury.
Palace are set to get their Europa Conference League campaign underway tonight, and Oliver Glasner previously confirmed that Eze would be starting the game. It's an interesting situation considering the speculation surrounding his future, and it appears that a final decision has now been made.
Eze Won't Play for Crystal Palace Amid Arsenal Move

Reporting on X, Aarons has confirmed that Eze won't play for Crystal Palace on Thursday night, amid reports of a deal agreed with Arsenal.
"As reported by @iamrahmanosman Eze is not going to play this evening but will be at Selhurst Park for the Conference League playoff against Fredrikstad."
Arsenal will undoubtedly be delighted with the decision for Eze not to feature, as it would be a complete disaster if he suffered a serious injury before completing a move. It makes sense for all parties if Eze sits out of this one, even though Palace could certainly do with him in their side, considering they are yet to find a replacement for the England international.
