Eberechi Eze looks set to become Arsenal’s latest summer signing — after reportedly telling friends he’s chosen the Gunners over Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
The Crystal Palace playmaker has been on fire this year, racking up 14 goals and 11 assists under Oliver Glasner and firing the Eagles to a shock FA Cup win over Man City.
That red-hot form has sparked a transfer scramble, with several European giants circling. Chelsea made contact, and Bayern showed interest, but it’s Arsenal that appears to have won the race.
According to TBR Football, Eze has already informed close pals that he’s off to north London, with a move to the Emirates now believed to be a matter of time.
Mikel Arteta is a huge admirer of the 27-year-old, who fits perfectly into the Gunners’ fluid attacking style. He’s expected to slot in off the left flank, with the freedom to drift inside and cause havoc — or even take on a central playmaker role when needed.
It’s yet another statement signing for Arsenal, who have already snapped up Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Nørgaard, Martin Zubimendi, and winger Noni Madueke, with Viktor Gyökeres also on his way in a £63.8m deal.
If Eze is next through the door, Arsenal’s attack could be one of the most feared in Europe next season.
