Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is 'obsessed' with Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, and the England international would sign a five-year deal 'tomorrow' if given the chance, according to trusted insider Hand of Arsenal.
It's been a hectic summer transfer window so far for Arsenal, with news breaking on Tuesday afternoon that an agreement had been reached for their latest addition. Viktor Gyokeres looks set to join the north London club, with Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirming that a verbal agreement is in place between all parties involved.
Gyokeres could be the next to sign on the dotted line after Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, and Noni Madueke, with Arsenal looking to make a serious mark in the summer transfer window.
Arteta 'Obsessed' With Eberechi Eze
He's held talks with Arsenal
In a lengthy update on X, trusted insider Hand of Arsenal has provided the latest on Arsenal's pursuit of Eze. After holding talks with the Crystal Palace man, Arteta has become 'obsessed' with Eze and has directly communicated this to the board. Personal terms have never been an issue for the England international, who would be willing to sign a five-year deal.
Eze, described as a 'superstar' by Jamie Carragher, has told Chelsea and Bayern Munich that his preference is to join the Gunners this summer, with informal dialogue taking place between the two clubs. The Crystal Palace star has a £68m release clause in his contract, meaning the Gunners could easily get a deal done if they want to pull the trigger.
Unfortunately for Arsenal supporters, any deal could rely on outgoings, so this could be a saga that goes on until later in the transfer window. If Arsenal can confirm the signing of Gyokeres and then move on to Eze, they are going to be serious contenders for the Premier League title during the 2025/2026 campaign.
