**_Arsenal are reportedly set to submit an initial offer for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze once Fabio Vieira's potential move to Stuttgart progresses._**
The 27-year-old is believed to be Arsenal's top target for the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window, but any formal bid is likely to depend on player sales.
According to **_[FootballTransfers](https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/tag/arsenal-features/exclusive-arsenal-transfer-news-eberechi-eze-fabio-vieira-steve-kay)_**, Arsenal are prepared to make their opening offer for Eze once progress is made on outgoings — with Fabio Vieira's potential transfer to Bundesliga side Stuttgart key to the process.
The Athletic's **_David Ornstein_** exclusively reported that Stuttgart are in talks with Arsenal over a permanent deal for Vieira, and all parties are keen to conclude negotiations swiftly.
Once the deal for the Portuguese midfielder edges closer to completion, Arsenal are expected to launch a bid for the Crystal Palace playmaker.
The Gunners are aiming to have a deal for the England international in place as early as this week.
