Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s best player on the pitch, and he could now be playing a big role off it.
The Gunners are working hard on new transfers behind the scenes, and they have been linked with several players over the last few months.
Andrea Berta is in charge of getting those deals over the line, and Mikel Arteta is usually the one who speaks to players to convince them to join the club.
But, Saka may have provided an assist to his manager now.
Bukayo Saka has encouraged Eberechi Eze to join Arsenal
Eberechi Eze has emerged as a target for Arsenal.
The England international is expected to be on the move this summer after a few incredible seasons at Crystal Palace. He is due a big transfer.
TBR Football confirmed that Arsenal have enquired about signing Eze, and view him as a potential option for their left wing role.
Football Transfers now claim that the Gunners are considering tabling a bid to sign the Crystal Palace star in the coming days.
Tottenham are also interested in signing Eze, but the Gunners may have an advantage.
The report claims that the player’s relationship with Arsenal star Bukayo Saka could be an ‘influential factor’ in a potential deal.
Furthermore, it has been revealed that the Gunners’ number seven ‘has privately encouraged Eze to make the move to the Emirates’ in this window.

Arsenal fans’ Rodrygo dream could be over
Arsenal supporters had been dreaming of signing Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid.
The Brazil star is no longer a regular starter for the Galacticos under their new boss, Xabi Alonso, and there has been a lot of speculation around his future.
Arsenal have been linked with a move to sign Rodrygo, but the report now claims that the Gunners have cooled their interest in the Real Madrid star.
It has further been claimed that ‘Arsenal will no longer engage in talks with the player’s representatives unless contacted directly and made aware that a deal is genuinely possible’.
That is the reason why Eze has emerged as a key option for the Gunners.
