Arsenal and Crystal Palace are holding discussions over a deal for Eberechi Eze that could see a Gunners player move to Selhurst Park, as per a report, while Mikel Arteta’s side have been tipped to finalise the signing ‘in the next hour’ as the England ace is ‘desperate’ to join.

Arsenal are keen to bolster their creative and attacking options this summer, with moves for both Chelsea winger Noni Madueke and Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze on the cards

A move for Eze would appeal to Arsenal supporters - partly because of the 27-year-old’s connection to the club, but also because of what he would bring to the side. Martin Odegaard has had to shoulder the burden of being Arsenal’s chief playmaker, and Eze would elevate that.
