Arsenal have reportedly set their sights on highly-rated Crystal Palace gem Eberechi Eze and are said to be considering a move for the England international ahead of the 2025/2026 season.
Eze’s reputation has soared following his consistently brilliant performances for Crystal Palace over the last couple of seasons.Last season, his match-winning goal in the FA Cup final against Manchester City secured a first-ever major trophy for the Eagles.
Eze’s game has shown steady improvement over the past few years and the just concluded 2024/2025 campaign marked his most productive Premier League season yet, with 16 goal contributions to his name.
His fine displays have not gone unnoticed according to David Ornstein, who reports that Arsenal are giving ‘serious consideration’ to a move for the 27-year-old as they look to bolster their attacking options for next season.
Arsenal’s North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur were previously thought to be serious admirers of the versatile Englishman but recent reports have revealed that the Europa League champions haven’t shown any interest this summer.
Popular football transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claims that the Gunners have established contact with Eze’s camp and the former Arsenal academy player has expressed willingness to make the move as he seeks to compete for the biggest honours.
The Englishman is understood to have a £68.5 million release clause in his Crystal Palace contract. While the Eagles are open to receiving the amount in installments, the Gunners are aiming to negotiate a lower fee.
