Arsenal has reportedly joined the race with Tottenham and Manchester United to sign Crystal Palace midfielder, Eberechi Eze. The 26-year-old player has been a key performer for Palace, making him a hot target for several top-tier clubs.
Eze was one of the standout performers last season with an impressive record of 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. His winning goal against Manchester City in the FA Cup final further solidified his reputation as a formidable player.
Spurs have identified Eze as a marquee signing for their new manager Thomas Frank, while Manchester United views him as an ideal addition to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s attack. However, according to talkSPORT reports, Arsenal is also keen on adding Eze to their roster.
Arsenal's summer recruitment plans
Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, is eager to recruit versatile attacking players along with a new striker this summer. It appears that Eze fits perfectly into these plans due to his versatility on the field. Eberechi Eze comes with a £68 million release clause in his deal with Palace which makes him an affordable option compared to Real Madrid’s Rodrygo who is also on Arsenal's radar.
In addition to their interest in Eberechi Eze, Arsenal is also exploring other potential signings this summer. The club has made an enquiry about West Ham's Mohammed Kudus, who has a hefty £85m release clause that can be activated during the first ten days of July. Another player on Arsenal's radar is Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.
Furthermore, the club has engaged in discussions concerning Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko; however, no agreements have been finalized with either Sporting CP or RB Leipzig as of yet.
Eze's rising popularity
Eberechi Eze's popularity is on the rise, with even Paul Scholes urging Manchester United to sign him after his performance emerged as one of the few positives from England’s 3-1 defeat to Senegal earlier this month.
It appears that Arsenal is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window. With their sights set on several promising players like Eberechi Eze, fans can expect some exciting changes in the team's lineup for the upcoming season.
