New Arsenal signing Eberechi Eze will create “magic moments” and take the club to a different level, manager Mikel Arteta claimed. Eze was presented to the Emirates crowd in the minutes before Arsenal’s 5-0 demolition job of Leeds which fired the Gunners to an early sight of the Premier League summit.

Mikel Arteta confirmed that Eberechi Eze phoned him to explore Arsenal's interest in signing him as he stood on the brink of a move to Tottenham.

"We are absolutely delighted to bring Eberechi to Arsenal," Arteta said in a club statement. "He is a powerful and exciting player who will give us a new dimension in our attacking game. "What stands out just as much as his talent and intelligence as a player, is the way he has worked hard throughout his career to get where he is today.
