Eberechi Eze's £60 million transfer from Crystal Palace to Arsenal could be confirmed as early as this weekend.
The move would make Eze Arsenal's seventh summer signing, pushing their total spending beyond £250 million.
Arsenal's pursuit of Eze accelerated following a knee injury sustained by Kai Havertz, whose recovery timeline is currently unclear.
Mikel Arteta, backed by sporting director Andrea Berta, is keen to strengthen the squad as Arsenal aims for their first Premier League title in 22 years.
Eze was notably absent from Crystal Palace's Conference League qualifier against Fredrikstad, the Eagles’ first ever European tie.
