According to the Evening Standard, Arsenal have added Eze to a long list of targets. The report claims that the Crystal Palace star has a £68m release clause in his contract at Selhurst Park, which can be payable in three instalments.
The England international, who turned 27 on Sunday, was released from the Hale End Academy at the age of 13, so a call from Arteta could pull on his heart strings. The Evening Standard reckon that the Gunners are also tracking Anthony Gordon.

Arsenal consider Eze swoop
According to The Athletic, Eze is one of several options currently being considered by Arsenal. The report claims that no contact has yet been made with Crystal Palace, but no other club has the same level of interest in the Englishman at the moment.
It's said that Eze is not a player that Tottenham Hotspur have been working to bring in, though there is a long-standing interest. The Athletic add that Arsenal would look to wrap up a deal for the 27-year-old at a lower price than the release clause in his contract.
