Arsenal signs Eze for £68 million: will he play against Leeds.
According to The Sun: Arsenal will face Leeds in their first game of the new season at 'Emirates'.
The Gunners started the campaign with a 1-0 away victory against Manchester United.
Mikel Arteta opted for the initial starters of the £114.5 million duo of Victor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi at 'Old Trafford'.
The 'Gunners' coach is preparing to strengthen his team with the impending transfer of Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze.
'The England international seemed close to a move to north London rivals Tottenham, but his hometown club Arsenal intervened at the last minute and made him reconsider,' the original stated.
Eze is expected to undergo a medical on Friday before the £68 million move to the 'Gunners'.
'But will the 27-year-old be registered in time to make his debut against Leeds on Saturday evening?' the original questions.
Will Eberechi Eze be able to play for Arsenal against Leeds?
Premier League registration rules state that new signings must be registered with the league by midday on the working day before a specific game.
This means that for Eze to make his debut for Arsenal against Leeds on Saturday evening, the deal must be finalized by 12:00 on Friday.
The team is rushing to get the deal done by the deadline, but the England international has not yet been announced.
However, all necessary paperwork could be ready in time, and an official announcement will follow.
If the deal is not completed by the deadline, Eze will likely make his debut away to Premier League champions Liverpool on Sunday, August 31.
