Ex-Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur defender, William Gallas, has suggested that Crystal Palace midfielder, Eberechi Eze snubbed Spurs and chose the Gunners because he wants a club where he can win trophies.
The ex-French international made this known while appearing as a guest on ‘Gambling Zone’.
Eze, after agreeing personal terms with Tottenham, decided to snub them for their north London rivals, Arsenal.
The Gunners on the other hand, agreed to sign the attacking midfielder for £67.5m from Crystal Palace after losing Kai Hazerts to knee injury .

Eze is now expected to undergo his medical at the Emirates in the coming hours.
Addressing why the England international made a U-turn, Gallas said Eze snubbed Spurs for Mikel Arteta’s side because he wants to get his hands on more trophies.
Speaking during the interview, he said, “If you are Eze, you don’t want to go from Crystal Palace, where you were the main guy, to move to one of the biggest clubs if you are not going to play much.
“You don’t want to join a club and become frustrated with your minutes.
“Eze will try to find the best solution for himself. Even if Spurs won the Europa League last year, you probably have more chances to win things at Arsenal over the next few years.”
