Spurs Scramble to Bolster Attack After Arsenal Hijack Eze Move
23 Aug
Summary
- Spurs open season with 3-0 win, then suffer setback as Arsenal bid for Eze
- Manchester City dominate Wolves 4-0 in season opener, new signings shine
- Highly anticipated clash between Guardiola's City and Frank's Brentford
In the opening week of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. They began on a high note, comfortably defeating Burnley 3-0 in their first match. However, their joy was short-lived as their London rivals Arsenal made a late bid to hijack Spurs' move for Eberechi Eze, a highly-rated attacking midfielder.
Across town, Manchester City appeared to be back to their dominant best, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Pep Guardiola's new signings, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki, both found the back of the net, while Erling Haaland added a characteristic brace to complete the rout.
This weekend, the two sides will face off in a highly anticipated clash that could serve as an early indicator of their Big Six credentials. Both Guardiola and Brentford manager Thomas Frank will be eager to prove their teams' mettle with a big win at the Etihad Stadium.
