Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder and outspoken TalkSPORT pundit Jamie O'Hara has set the football world alight with a staggering claim that's left Arsenal fans fuming and neutrals stunned.
In a fiery segment on the popular sports radio show, O'Hara boldly declared that Crystal Palace's prized asset, Eberechi Eze, would unequivocally choose a move to Tottenham Hotspur over their bitter rivals Arsenal if given the choice for a genuine top-four challenge.
The audacious statement prompted immediate and visceral reactions from his fellow presenters. A stunned Gabby Agbonlahor, the former Aston Villa captain, could barely contain his disbelief, firing back with a brutal put-down that questioned the very foundation of O'Hara's argument.
The explosive exchange has since gone viral, capturing the intense passion and partisan rivalry that defines the North London Derby. O'Hara, never one to shy away from controversy, doubled down on his take, insisting that Spurs' project under Ange Postecoglou is a more attractive prospect for a player of Eze's calibre than Mikel Arteta's setup at the Emirates.
This is not the first time O'Hara's Tottenham allegiance has sparked a war of words on air, but this particular claim about one of the Premier League's most sought-after talents has certainly raised the bar for pre-derby mind games.
