BREAKING: Eberechi Eze lands dream shirt number as Arsenal complete transfer hijack

Eberechi Eze is officially an Arsenal player after completing his switch from Crystal Palace - and it has been confirmed that he will don the iconic No 10 shirt at his new club.

The 27-year-old England star looked to be heading to Tottenham before Arsenal swooped in to hijack the deal on Wednesday. Eze underwent a medical on Friday before completing the formalities of his switch, which is worth around £67million in total.

Eze was paraded in front of the home crowd at The Emirates ahead of Saturday night's game against Leeds. And he revealed that he will be donning the No 10 shirt at his boyhood club.
