Arsenal pulled out of the race to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, because they did not want to block the development of two players. The Gunners

Arsenal legend Lee Dixon believes that Eberechi Eze could be a ‘title decider’ if he puts pen to paper with his former side. The playmaker has been heavily linked with a move away from Crystal Palace in recent weeks, with the Gunners and Tottenham keen to acquire his services.

Referee England overturned his on-field decision, but explained that the free-kick was ruled out because Guéhi, after successfully shifting Caicedo, had moved to within a metre of the Chelsea wall, which is an infringement in itself. The goal wasn’t ruled out because of the Palace captain’s contact with the Ecuadorian.

Former Arsenal star Theo Walcott has surprisingly urged Eberechi Eze to snub a move to the Gunners this summer and stay at Crystal Palace.
