Eberechi Eze's prospective move to Arsenal remains uncertain after Mikel Arteta declined to comment on the deal, while Brentford manager Thomas Frank insisted his former club Tottenham never pursued the Crystal Palace star.
Arteta, speaking ahead of Arsenal's next fixture, refused to discuss the acquisition before it is officially completed. “I don’t know the extent of the injury suffered by Kai Havertz this week and I cannot comment on Eze’s transfer until it is signed, sealed and delivered,” he said.
Meanwhile, Thomas Frank claimed that Spurs were never interested in signing Eze, contradicting reports linking the winger with a switch to north London. “We never really fancied him,” Frank said, adding that Richarlison remains a wanted player at Tottenham despite rumours of a move.
The delay in finalising the transfer has cast doubt over where Eze will play next season, with Arsenal yet to confirm the deal.
