The England international joins the Gunners after a deal worth worth £60million upfront, plus £7.5m in add-ons was struck between the two clubs earlier in the week.

Eze, unveiled before the Leeds clash, has signed a four-year contract, with the option of a further year, and could make his debut as soon next weekend when the Gunners face Liverpool at Anfield in a meeting between last season's top two in the Premier League.

Eze is the latest arrival at the Emirates Stadium this summer in what has been an extremely busy window as Arsenal aim to end their five-year wait for a major trophy this season.

Mikel Arteta has bolstered his squad with the signings of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera and Viktor Gyokeres. Now the Spaniard has added a creative spark to the ranks.

In signing Eze, Arsenal have also beaten rivals Tottenham to the player’s signature.

The move represents a homecoming for the 27-year-old as he was on Arsenal's books as a youngster and has previously said he grew up a supporter of the club.
