Eberechi Eze meltdown on live radio forces talkSPORT to go off-air after Jamie O'Hara F-bomb

FormerTottenham Hotspur midfielderJamie O'Hara has launched an astonishing rant live on talkSPORT over Spurs losing out on Eberechi Eze to Arsenal. His tirade even resulted in the broadcaster sensationally shutting off the live stream after the 38-year-old dropped the F-bomb.

Like many Tottenham fans, O'Hara is in disbelief that Spurs, who seemedset to land the Crystal Palace winger, now look to have lost out to their bitter rivals. Arsenal waited until the 11th hour to gazump Spurs by meeting Palace's £68million release clause for the winger, with Eze also agreeing personal terms with the Gunners.

Taking to talkSPORT to voice his shock, O'Hara concluded his fiery sermon exclaiming that he was "F*****g..." - with the latter part of his sentence unknown as the plug was pulled on the broadcast for a few brief seconds.

The drama unfolded as co-host – and former Chelsea player – Jason Cundy claimed Spurs have ideas above their station and think they're a bigger club than they are. Cundy goaded O'Hara with a baby doll, complete with crying sound effects, as the former Wolves midfielder then let rip.

"I'm disappointed in Tottenham, I'm disappointed. we should have had this deal done weeks ago, we should have had it over the line and got it done," O'Hara said.

"As soon as we started the season, we should have had Eze in the team, and do you know what, it serves us right. It serves Daniel Levy right, it serves Spurs right, it's the same old Tottenham, it happens every single season, we're penny-pinchers!

"It happened again, and we're going to miss out on a top-quality player who's proven in the Premier League. Just pay the money and get the player over the line! We got rid of [Heung-min] Son, [James] Maddison has done his ACL, we needed Eze, we needed him.

"It's an absolute joke that we're going to lose him to Arsenal of all teams, who are going to waltz in and pay and get it over the line in a couple of hours, it's a joke."

Cundy then went on to ask O'Hara whether he'd rather join Tottenham or Arsenal if he were the Crystal Palace star. O'Hara added: "I get it, Arsenal are a better team than us, they're in a better position, I wouldn't say they're bigger.

"They're doing well and that's why Tottenham needed to get the deal done, so you can't get hijacked. This is what happens, the bigger clubs come in and get the players, you don't get the deal done, this is what's going to happen."

O'Hara then pointed his anger directly at Levy once again, claiming he has failed to capitalise in the transfer window in the face of Son joining Los Angeles FC and after Maddison's serious injury. He added: "Levy is a penny-pincher. Maddison did his ACL a month ago, he could have got the deal done.

"Maddison is out for the season, he's done, Son's gone, he knew Son was going, he knew that a month ago. He knew those players were done and he still hasn't got it over the line, he still hasn't got it over the line knowing this was coming."

Then prompting the short shut-down, O'Hara said: "How have you not got this done? Honestly, it's a joke and I'm f*****g..."

Luckily, the broadcaster managed to catch O'Hara's slip on the YouTube live-stream as well as across the airwaves. The live-stream was also adjusted so viewers could only see a holding card announcing that the duo would be back soon.

As coverage eventually returned, O'Hara had his head in his hands while Cundy said: "Oh my word. He had to dump himself, he swore, he dropped an F-bomb." An embarrassed-looking O'Hara then calmed himself, before adding: "I don't think I've ever done that before."

Eze is now set to undergo a medical at Arsenal after playingone final time for Palace in their Conference League play-off match against Fredrikstad on Thursday evening at Selhurst Park. However, Palace could still omit him from the tie to avoid risk of injury before the medical.
