Transfer: Eze ‘closing in’ on Arsenal move after Community Shield

Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze is reportedly close to a move to Arsenal after his impressive performance in the Community Shield victory over Liverpool. Eze, who has been linked with Arsenal throughout the summer transfer window, has evolved into one of the best playmakers in the Premier League since joining Palace in 2020.

According to FootballTransfers, Arsenal is willing to pay £40 million for Eze, with £30 million to be paid upfront. However, Palace is reluctant to let Eze go without securing a replacement.

Arsenal has also bolstered their squad with the additions of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Chelsea defender Cristhian Mosquera, and Valencia. This potential move could significantly strengthen Arsenal's midfield options for the upcoming season.
