Former ARSENAL and France defender Mikael Silvestre has warned Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze against securing a transfer to the Gunners this summer, as the Gunners line-up a move for the England star as a replacement for Gabriel Martinelli
Martinelli, who made 51 appearances for Arsenal last season, was linked with Bayern Munich earlier in the summer but the Bundesliga champions have since signed Luis Diaz from Liverpool.
Arteta is reportedly keen for Martinelli to stay put despite the increased competition at the Emirates Stadium. If he is sold, ARSENAL would want at least £50m for the Brazil international.
And amid all the speculation and rumours that Arsenal wants to sign Eze, Silvestre has warned Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze against securing a transfer to the Gunners this summer – Speaking to Hajper, the Frenchman said: “Eberechi Eze to Arsenal?

‘Going to Arsenal would, I think, be difficult because of the competition for places. But I like him a lot. Since his early days, he has been terrific.
‘It’s a shame he’s had quite a lot of muscle injuries and he’s missed some parts of the season. But whenever he’s fit and ready, he is a top player.”
