The Gunners now have a clear understanding of the England international’s wage demands and the specifics of his £68 million release clause. ..Continue Reading
According to reports, Arsenal are aiming to negotiate a fee below that figure, which would simplify the process if Palace are open to talks.
Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen his attacking options this summer, especially after last season’s title bid was derailed by injuries to key players like Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Kai Havertz.
Arsenal have also been strongly linked with strikers Viktor Gyökeres and Benjamin Šeško, while adding a winger to challenge Gabriel Martinelli remains a key objective.
Names such as Rodrygo, Rafael Leão, Morgan Rogers, and Noni Madueke are all under consideration, but sources suggest that signing Eze wouldn’t prevent Arsenal from pursuing other targets.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Eze is open to joining Arsenal, the club that released him as a teenager, provided Crystal Palace receive a formal offer.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are expected to officially unveil Martin Zubimendi in the coming days after finalizing his transfer from Real Sociedad.
The Spanish midfielder nearly joined Liverpool last year but ultimately stayed in La Liga—until Arteta convinced him to make the move to North London.
Zubimendi is set to replace Thomas Partey, who will leave the club on a free transfer after contract talks broke down.
Arsenal are also closing in on a deal for Brentford captain Christian Nørgaard, with the £15 million transfer expected to help fill the void left by Jorginho’s departure.
Additionally, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has completed a £5 million move from Chelsea and is set to provide competition for David Raya between the posts.
