Joining Queens Park Rangers in 2016, Eberechi made his breakthrough in the 2019/20 season, being voted as QPR’s Player of the Year, before moving to the Premier League with Crystal Palace in 2020. During five seasons at Selhurst Park, Eberechi made more than 150 appearances, with his crowning moment coming in May, when he scored the winning goal in the Eagles’ historic FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

On the international stage, Eberechi represented England at youth levels before earning his senior debut in 2023. He has since won 11 full caps and was a member of the Euro 2024 squad. In March, he scored his first international goal in a 3-0 win over Latvia in a World Cup 2026 qualifier.

Sporting Director Andrea Berta said: “We are so pleased to have completed this deal to bring Eberechi to Arsenal. Eberechi is a creative and explosive talent with huge technical quality – also a big-game player, with his experience at international level with England also underlining his quality and character.

"There has been excellent teamwork across the club to make this transfer happen and we are very confident Eberechi will be an important addition to our squad as we continue to build for success.”

Manager Mikel Arteta added: “We are absolutely delighted to bring Eberechi to Arsenal. He is a powerful and exciting player who will give us a new dimension in our attacking game. What stands out just as much as his talent and intelligence as a player, is the way he has worked hard throughout his career to get where he is today.

"His journey, his mentality, and his ambition are exactly what we want in our team, and we love how much it means to him and his family to be joining our club. We all look forward to start working with Eberechi soon.”

Eberechi will wear the number 10 shirt and will join up with his new teammates after this weekend’s match against Leeds United.

Everyone at Arsenal welcomes Eberechi to the club.

The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
