Arsenal are stepping up their pursuit of attacking reinforcements with Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres emerging as key targets. The Gunners are keen to add creativity and firepower to their squad ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
Double Swoop Planned
Mikel Arteta's side are preparing a potential double raid, with:
- Eberechi Eze: The 25-year-old Palace playmaker has impressed with his dribbling skills and eye for goal
- Viktor Gyokeres: The Swedish striker has been in sensational form since joining Sporting from Coventry
Eze's Premier League Pedigree
The England international has become one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in the Premier League, contributing 11 goals and 4 assists last season. His ability to unlock defences would provide Arsenal with a different dimension in the final third.
Gyokeres' Goalscoring Form
Meanwhile, Gyokeres has been tearing up the Portuguese league, netting 29 goals in his debut season. The physical striker would offer Arsenal a more direct option alongside Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
Transfer Complications
Both deals present challenges:
- Palace value Eze at around £60m following his England call-up
- Gyokeres has an €100m release clause in his Sporting contract
- Arsenal must balance FFP considerations with their need for squad depth
With the transfer window heating up, Arsenal fans will be watching closely to see if their club can secure one or both of these exciting attacking talents.
