Oliver Glasner all-but confirmed Eberechi Eze has played his last game in a Crystal Palace shirt after claiming the England attacker pulled out on the day of their historic 1-0 Conference League playoff victory over Fredrikstad.

The Palace boss insisted Eze would start the Eagles’ first leg against the Norwegian side at Selhurst Park – also their first foray into major European football — before Arsenal swooped in.

Sources told ESPN that Arsenal have reached a deal worth £60 million ($80.5m) with £7.5 million ($10m) in add-ons and have also agreed personal terms with the 27-year-old.
