Spurs are a bigger / better team but in many ways it's a sideways move unless Spurs really sort their shit out. At Arsenal he'll be a squad player rather than a guaranteed starter but if he wants to be at the top end of football, it's the better move in that respect.
He'll be much better paid at Arsenal. If Sportrac's salary figures are believable, Spurs' top wage is 170K a week, to Maddison. Only 3 Spurs players earn over 100K a week (Maddison, Romero, Kulusevski). On the other hand, Arsenal has 15 of those, of which 5 of them are on 200K and up.
He'll have a much better chance of winning a title at Arsenal, considering they're thrice league runners up in a row. Not too difficult to sell him the idea that he's one of the pieces that will finally get them over the line.
Maybe the style suits him better at Spurs, but how many players at his age would choose fit over money and glory?
He could go to Spurs and be the main man. Hard to see a permanent, defined role for him at Arsenal, that's part of the reason Havertz struggles. Eze will probably end up on the left for Arsenal and that doesn't seem to suit his strengths.
I'm loathe to give credence to any of these sites that claim to know player salaries, but simple fact is Arsenal's last published wage bill (2023-24) was nearly 50% higher than Spurs. Both include staff so there are some distortions there, but Arsenal definitely pay higher salaries than Sours.
Plus given Eze's age, this is the contract that will decide how comfortable he is in retirement. Money will have been a huge factor, and I can't blame him for that.
I'd normally agree but Spurs won a trophy last season and the only thing Arteta has that can resemblance it is a dog named Win.
Would defo rather he went to Spurs like. Shame
One of the main Liverpool journos Paul Joyce reports that "Forest were hopeful of agreeing a double deal for Lewis and McAtee." Wow. What an idiotic hopefulness on the part of the Forest. Somebody did a number on Forest to get them to be hopeful about that. Rico Lewis is one of Guardiola's most favourite players. He proved last year he can play in many positions and do many things while the City side had big injury problems.

Arsenal is his boyhood club though. Can't put a price on that.
Freeing up Semanyo?
------
Bournemouth have signed winger Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee that could rise to £25.1m.
The 25-year-old is the Cherries' seventh signing of the summer and has joined on a five-year contract.
The Morocco international primarily plays off the left but has also featured as a number 10 and on the right flank.

Ok I guess. IDK.
B u t , after his win at Old Trafford Arteta has seemed very pleased with the acquisitions Arsenal have acquired this Summer. Like he was talking differently about Arsenal. Like they were finally purchasing things he needs. And that didn't even include Eze. That's what he said and how he spoke. And he's a dog. And Guardiola is a dog too. And Man City has made acquisitions too.
Any other animals in the managerial Kingdom?
The supervisory board of Bayern Munich has already set strict internal limits on transfer spending, stretching all the way through to 2031. The framework allows for a maximum of minus 50 million net in any given window, with the condition that the following summer must then be neutral or positive. In practice, this means that across every two-season cycle, Bayern will not exceed a combined net spend of minus 50 million.
Three months ago I told you that, after Florian Wirtz rejected Bayern, the board had already decided this summer’s window would be neutral. That has now been proven correct, with the final balance even closing slightly positive. This leaves next summer as the one window where Bayern can spend up to minus 50 million net, before being required to balance the books again in the cycle that follows.
Inside the club, the belief is that this cautious approach will still be enough to secure the Bundesliga. I reported before, and it has now been confirmed again internally, that Champions League ambitions are effectively off the table, with cost-saving measures considered crucial for the next five years, a strategy that shifts the focus away from European glory, and firmly towards financial restraint and domestic control.
The strategy is designed to keep Bayern financially tight until 2031, with stability and control prioritised above ambition, and with Europe quietly surrendered in exchange for balanced books and domestic comfort.

He’s a very good / versatile player…surely better options than that shower of Moyes shite?
You could probably add a reserve side and an A team to that. That club's been a graveyard for decent players for decades. Long may it continue.
United should have been all over this and paid over the odds like they usually do.
