Arsenal have reportedly agreed personal terms to sign £100k-a-week Crystal Palace star. The Gunners are now pushing forward in talks to bring Eberechi Eze to the Emirates.
Arsenal Moves On from Rodrygo, Targets Palace Star for Left-Wing Role
Arsenal’s hunt for a new wide player has taken a fresh turn. Mikel Arteta is growing impatient with Real Madrid over **Rodrygo**’s future.
Reports now suggest that the North London club is switching focus to Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze. The Gunners have already spent over £80m on three signings. They are close to finalising deals for Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres, and Cristhian Mosquera as well. Although, the left-wing position still needs addressing.
Eze is on a £100,000-a-week contract at Palace. He has emerged as the top target, with Arsenal informally agreeing personal terms with the Englishman. He fits Arteta’s system well, bringing both creativity and the ability to take on defenders. That is something they have lacked on the left in key games.
Eze Talks Advance, But Price Could Be a Block
Though the Gunners are now fully focused on Eze, sealing the deal won’t be easy. Palace are determined to keep their top man. This comes especially after his standout season where he bagged eight assists. That is his best in the PL so far.
Eze’s release clause is set at £68m, a price Arsenal are hoping to talk down. The North London side would likely need to sell a few players to make space financially and tactically for the winger. The progress in personal terms shows an intent from the club to get their man before the window closes.
Arteta is clearly building a squad with depth and variety. A player like Eze could be the missing piece in their attacking puzzle. All eyes will be on whether the Gunners can close the gap between interest and agreement.
