The 27-year-old midfielder has been at the center of transfer speculation in recent weeks, and it now appears the Gunners are on the verge of completing the deal.
According to Fichajes, Palace have accepted a bid in the region of £55 million, though the transfer will only be finalized once the club identifies a suitable replacement for Eze.
The report also notes that Arsenal’s pursuit of the England international was driven by a direct request from manager Mikel Arteta.
Tottenham Hotspur remain in the race for Eze’s signature, adding further intrigue to the situation.
Arsenal have been one of the most active clubs in the transfer window this summer, already bringing in six high-profile additions: Viktor Gyökeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Nørgaard, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Cristhian Mosquera.
Their ambition is clear — Arteta is building a squad capable of challenging for both the Premier League crown and Champions League glory.
Eze has consistently impressed in the top flight and would offer Arsenal a fresh dose of creativity, flair, and attacking threat. With 25 goal contributions last season, his numbers could soar even higher in a more offensive setup surrounded by elite talent.
Having played a key role in Crystal Palace’s FA Cup and Community Shield victories, Eze appears ready for the next chapter in his career — one that involves competing for major honors. Arsenal could be the perfect stage for him to shine.
While the deal isn’t sealed just yet, all signs point toward a resolution soon. After falling just short in recent seasons, Arsenal will be hoping that Eze’s arrival helps push them over the finish line.
