Arsenal fans will have to wait to see Eberechi Eze make his Arsenal debut with transfer from Crystal Palace not completely ratified before the 12pm deadline needed to play this weekend.

The Gunners have swooped in and won the race for the winger's services, although no deal has yet been made official at the time of writing.

Arsenal have landed Eze from under Tottenham's nose but the England international is not expected to be able to play at the Emirates on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta's side welcome newly promoted Leeds to north London when they play in the 5.30pm kick-off.

It means the 27-year-old could make his debut in the crunch early season clash at Liverpool on August 31.

Arsenal can put down an early season marker at Anfield with a victory and Eze could aid their ambitions.

Arsenal's first meeting with Palace this year comes on October 25 when the Eagles head to the Emirates, which could see them meet their former star for the first time.

Eze's first return to Selhurst Park could take place on the final day of the season.

The winger, who has just enjoyed the best goalscoring season of his career with the Eagles, would be the latest major recruit to head to north London after Arteta already signed the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke in recent months.

Arsenal's desire to add Eze was motivated by the recent injury to Kai Havertz, which will keep him sidelined.
