Jamie O'Hara has hit out at Arsenal after the Premier League side unveiled new signing Eberechi Eze ahead of their match against Leeds United.

Shortly before Arsenal produced a dominant win over newly-promoted side Leeds United at the Emirates, Gunners fans were treated to the official unveiling of new signing Eberechi Eze.

Despite reportedly agreeing with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, the Crystal Palace decided instead to sign for boyhood club Arsenal in what is viewed as a major statement signing for Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal will pay an initial fee of £60million for the the 27-year-old, with a further £7.5m potentially being added on if certain bonuses are met.

As he walked out onto the Emirates pitch for the first time as an Arsenal player, fans in the stadium made their feelings about the new signing clear, but former Tottenham player O'Hara wasn't happy with the unveiling.

Although Eze's debut likely to come during next week's title clash with Liverpool, his unveiling at the Emirates showed him that fans are seriously excited to have him at the club.

Shortly before his unveiling at the Emirates, Arsenal announced the signing with a video featuring Eze and club legend Ian Wright on social media.

But it appears that O'Hara was not impressed with the video, as he criticised it while watching it live on talkSPORT, saying: “What have I just watched there? Seriously, what am I watching? It’s embarrassing, mate, Wrighty should know better as well."

To which co-host Jason Cundy replied: "No one does cringe like Arsenal. It's the way, it's the modern world. Social media now, it's where it all goes off.

"By the way, what a signing, don't be getting bitter!"

Prompting O'Hara to state: "He’s a good player. He ain’t Messi. Do you know what I mean? Come on, he’s a decent player. They’re bigging him up like they’ve signed Erling Haaland.”

With Crystal Palace set to receive a reported £67.5m for their star player, Eze's move to the Gunners takes Arsenal's total spending this summer to around £250million.

Viktor Gyokeres, who scored two at the Emirates on Saturday, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi are just some of the other players who have joined Arsenal in recent weeks.

Following the singing of Eze and the statement win over Leeds on Saturday, the Gunners are now the bookies' favourites to win the Premier League title this season, with all eyes turning to St James' Park as they welcome champions Liverpool for a fiery clash on Monday.
