Arsenal and Crystal Palace have reportedly struck an agreement for Eberechi Eze’s move.
Arsenal eye Palace star for title push
After another hard-fought season, Arsenal seem determined to sharpen their attack ahead of the new campaign. The Gunners finished second in the PL for the third year in a row. They even reached the semi-final of the UCL as well. But, since Mikel Arteta’s FA Cup victory in 2020, there has been a trophy drought at the Emirates.
This summer has seen a plenty of new signings at the North London side. At the moment, Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is on the radar.
Eze is entering into his prime at 27 years old. Eze’s creativity, his flair on the ball, his ability to impact in the big moments, he is one of the top targets. Arsenal’s bid has been reported as £55m, with £30m paid up front.
Arteta sees him as the final piece in the puzzle to win trophies. He is a player that unlocks defenses and lifts some pressure off the creative load in midfield
The Eagles hold firm before letting star go
While Arsenal fans are already picturing Eze in red and white, Palace are not keen on rushing the deal. Manager Oliver Glasner knows the value of his playmaker and wants a replacement lined up before giving the green light.
Meanwhile, Matheus Franca remains an option. But, the young Brazilian has struggled with injuries since arriving in England. Palace’s stance is clear, no Eze exit until the squad is ready for life without him.
For the Gunners, adding Eze to a summer haul could be the statement of intent the club needs. The North Londoners have been building towards a title charge. With Eze pulling the strings, the dream of lifting silverware may finally be within reach.
