Arsenal fans have wasted little time in welcoming Eberechi Eze to the Emirates with a cheeky chant that has already gone viral among supporters.
The England international completed his big-money move from Crystal Palace after Arsenal sensationally hijacked Tottenham Hotspur’s bid for the 27-year-old. The transfer has not only boosted Mikel Arteta’s squad, but it has also provided fans with fresh ammunition to taunt their North London rivals.
Arsenal supporters come up with witty Eze chant
In the wake of the hijack, Gunners supporters were heard singing a chant dedicated to their new arrival. The lyrics cheekily reference Tottenham’s failed pursuit of Eze, while celebrating the attacker’s decision to choose Arsenal instead.
Chants from the terraces and on social media included lines about Mikel Arteta’s role in convincing Eze to make the switch, while Spurs were left empty-handed despite weeks of negotiations. The light-hearted but pointed nature of the song has already struck a chord with Arsenal’s fanbase, with clips circulating widely online.
Insane chant
🎶 We can hear them crying at the Lane, Eberechi he scores again, one chat with Mik Arteta he said ‘wow’, f**** off Tottenham, I’m a Gooner now! 🎶

Eze transfer fuels North London rivalry
The fact that Arsenal swooped in at the last moment to beat the Lilywhites to Eze’s signature has only intensified the rivalry between the two clubs. Tottenham had been preparing to finalise a deal for the Palace star before Arsenal entered the race and agreed terms with both player and club.
For supporters, the chant is more than just a celebration of Eze, it’s also a reminder that the Gunners continue to outmanoeuvre their local rivals in the transfer market. With Eze’s creativity and flair set to boost Arsenal’s attacking options, fans are confident the signing can help Arteta’s side push for silverware this season.
A fan favourite in the making
Eze grew up supporting Arsenal and has now realised a dream by joining the club he once represented at youth level. That personal connection, combined with the nature of the transfer saga, means he’s already guaranteed a warm reception at the Emirates.
And with the chants already echoing among supporters, it’s clear that Eze is being embraced as a new fan favourite before even kicking a ball in Arsenal colours. Now, attention will turn to when he makes his debut (likely against Liverpool next weekend) and whether the new song will ring out around the Emirates on his first appearance.
