Eberechi Eze keen on joining Arsenal this summer

Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze has opened the door to joining Arsenal during the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The England international had a solid 2024/25 campaign with the Eagles, registering 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions.

The Gunners recently made contact with his representatives, and Romano claims that the 27-year-old is keen on making the switch.

Eze previously spent time with the Gunners as an academy graduate, and he is open to challenging himself at a bigger club in his prime.

He currently has a release clause worth £68 million in his contract which can be paid in three instalments of £20m with £8m in add-ons.

However, Arsenal remain optimistic of negotiating a lesser fee of around £60m. They plan to pay the sum over several years.

Aside from Eze, the north London giants are also keen on landing a marquee striker and a left winger over the coming weeks.

Benjamin Sesko and Rodrygo are the prime targets at the moment.
