Arsenal have set their sights on Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. The Gunners are reportedly keeping close tabs on the England international, who has impressed with his creativity and flair at Selhurst Park.
Eze, 25, has been a standout performer for Palace this season, contributing with goals and assists while showcasing his ability to unlock defences. His versatility—capable of playing as a No. 10 or out wide—makes him an attractive option for Arsenal, who are seeking more dynamism in attack.
Gyokeres Also on Arsenal's Radar
Meanwhile, Arsenal continue to be linked with Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish forward has been in sensational form in Portugal, attracting interest from several top European clubs. However, Eze’s Premier League experience could make him a more immediate fit for Arteta’s system.
Palace Determined to Keep Their Star
Crystal Palace are under no pressure to sell Eze, whose contract runs until 2027. The Eagles would likely demand a significant fee for their prized asset, especially with his stock rising after a stellar season under manager Oliver Glasner.
Arsenal’s interest comes as they assess their attacking options, with potential departures also expected this summer. Whether they firm up their pursuit of Eze or focus on Gyokeres remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—the Gunners are actively exploring ways to enhance their firepower.
