Arsenal ramp up Eberechi Eze interest after Viktor Gyokeres transfer | OneFootball

Arsenal want to sign Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze this summer after wrapping up a deal for Viktor Gyokeres, according to The Independent.

The Gunners are looking for reinforcements on the flanks. Eze fits the bill, having spearheaded Palace to a mid-table Premier League finish and an FA Cup win.

Eze bagged 14 goals and 11 assists in 43 appearances last season, including the goal in the final to seal the cup for the Eagles.

The Gunners need strengthening on the left flank after an underwhelming campaign from Gabriel Martinelli.

Leandro Trossard has come up with some big moments for Arsenal, but the Gunners need an upgrade as they bid to end their 22-year wait for a Premier League title.

Arsenal faltered last term because they lacked sufficient options when key players were injured. The club have moved to address the problem.

The Champions League semi-finalists have recruited Noni Madueke to provide competition for Bukayo Saka on the right side.

Arsenal reportedly want to sign Eze for around £60 million, less than his reported £68m release clause.

They also want to pay in three instalments of £20 million and possibly insert Reiss Nelson to sweeten the deal.

Eze could become Arsenal’s seventh signing of a busy summer.

They have acquired Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Gyokeres.

The latter is undergoing a medical before signing on the dotted line.
