Arsenal official jab sparks Eze v Spurs in mural saga
An Arsenal official fired an unguarded comment after Eberechi Eze’s mural near the Emirates was defaced with white paint.
However, the vandalism appeared to be carried out by a Tottenham supporter.
Arsenal had just secured Eze’s signature from Crystal Palace for £60m as August closed.
Moreover, the move drew attention as the mural fed the overlapping story.
The official noted the £60m signing, then framed the paint prank as a pointed contrast.
In addition, Eze’s mural was later redone with a caption about the boyhood Arsenal fan returning home.
All roads lead home, the mural now declares.
On Friday, Thomas Frank added a joke that underlined the Eze versus Spurs subplot.
Additionally, he asked, Who is Eze, in a line that fit the mood of the moment.
Yet the focus remained on the long running rivalry and the ongoing talent hunt.
TLDR
- Arsenal calls out Spurs after a mural incident involving Eze.
- Arsenal signs Eze for £60m and revamps the mural with a homecoming caption.
