Arsenal Race Against Time To Register Eberechi Eze Ahead Of Leeds United Clash

Arsenal is in a race against time to register midfielder Eberechi Eze ahead of their clash with Leeds United. The Gunners have secured the player, who was also being pursued by fierce rival Tottenham Hotspur.

Eze is expected to undergo a medical in London immediately as Crystal Palace plays in the Europa Conference League playoff against Fredrikstad on Thursday night. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to have the England international available for their upcoming matches.

Former England striker Michael Owen praised Eze's natural flair but expressed concern that Palace could lose one of their biggest assets. The registration paperwork must be completed and filed with the Premier League by Friday noon deadline for Eze to be eligible to play.
