Arsenal is actively pursuing Crystal Palace’s outstanding midfielder Ebeki Eze after striker Victor Gyoker arrives from Sport Lisbon.
The gunners see it as a natural extension to further strengthen their midfield and attack options after a busy summer transfer window.
Their interest in the British midfielder is well documented that manager Mikel Arteta is trying to strengthen the depth and quality of his team to challenge Liverpool for this season’s Premier League title.
Eze’s release clause is reportedly set at around £68 million (77-78 million euros), but Arsenal is keen to build payments.
Crystal Palace told Arsenal to their asking price
Crystal Palace claims that around £35 million has been paid upfront, with the remaining fees spreading into installments and could be tied to performance-related add-ons.
Although negotiations were slow to sign Eze this summer, Arsenal still feels confident in securing Crystal Palace Star services.
According to the football relocation, the main stumbling of the deal is caused by the palace’s failure to sign Eze’s replacement.
The FA Cup winner hopes to properly trade Eze this summer before leaving the club and joining the gunners.
The palace is ready to let Eze leave the club
According to the report, the Palace has decided not to prevent AIDS from moving their dreams to Emirates Stadium, but they want to confirm that they have found an alternative to the star player before agreeing to a transfer.
As Arsenal has already secured the signature of Gyoker’s new striker, they are now focused on signing the new left-hand player, which fits the player profile Eze is looking at.
The gunner lacks the target threat from the left side of the attack, and Eze believes he is a player who can provide it.
Agreed: Liverpool beats Arsenal to sign with striker in another major coup
