The England international is said to be very keen on joining Arsenal, viewing the move as a natural step forward in his career. While no bid has been submitted yet, the groundwork is being laid behind the scenes and Arsenal’s internal belief in the player is growing.
Arsenal prioritising sales before pushing for Eze deal
Mikel Arteta’s squad currently needs trimming, particularly in midfield and attack, before major moves can be made. However, Eze remains high on the club’s radar. His ability to glide through midfield, take on players one-on-one, and score from distance offers exactly the type of creative flair Arsenal want in tight matches.
Sources suggest a formal approach to Crystal Palace could arrive swiftly after one or two sales are completed, possibly involving fringe attackers or midfield depth options. Eze’s valuation is believed to be in the €65 range, and Palace are expected to demand a full-value fee.
Player pushing for move as Arteta eyes creative boost
What gives Arsenal confidence is the player’s position: Eze wants the move. With Champions League football and a title-chasing squad at the Emirates, Arsenal are now able to attract top Premier League talent who see north London as a step up.
Arteta has long admired Eze’s profile, a two-footed playmaker capable of breaking lines and offering final-third output. He could slot in behind the striker, rotate with Ødegaard, or even play off the left if needed. His versatility fits the evolving tactical demands Arsenal are preparing for this season.
Final thoughts
Arsenal know exactly who they want and Eberechi Eze knows where he wants to go. Now it’s about timing. Once the outgoing business is done, don’t be surprised to see a serious move. Arsenal aren’t just monitoring anymore. They’re preparing.
