Arsenal wants to make Crystal Palace star Ebereechi Eze make their seventh signing of the summer transfer window, after he had already spent £ 195 million prior to the 2025-26 season
Eight days to go, another pre -season -friendly links. The new Premier League season is almost here for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta.
This Sunday the Gunners will be walking to Old Trafford to be confronted with Manchester United and start a campaign that could define an era. The Arteta project has seen progress, but no trophies and their £ 195 million in new signs have been introduced to change that.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Crithian Mosquera and Viktor Gyokeres have already given Arteta's team a fresh look. But the Gunners are not ready there, because the new sports director Andrea Berta is working hard to get players both in and out.
The priority of Arsenal after finally landing Gyokeres for £ 63.7 million is Crystal Palace star Ebereechi Eze and there has been speculation about his involvement in the Shield Community on Sunday. They also have Real Madrid's Rodrygo on their radar.
Here is a summary of the latest transfer news from the Emirates.
Palace boss makes a statement on Eze
Crystal Palace -manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Ebereechi Eze will be 'sure' in Sunday's community match against Liverpool. The future of Eze is under the microscope in the midst of concrete interest of Arsenal, while Tottenham was also associated with a movement after James Maddison had suffered an ACL injury.
During his press conference prior to the match, Glasner was asked whether the 27-year-old would still be a palace player after the transfer deadline day of the transfer, and he could only give a guarantee for Sunday. “He will certainly play on Sunday.” The Eagles boss answered.

Arsenal's only condition for signing Rodrygo
Arsenal retains an interest in real Madrid star Rodrygo – but will only sign him. Rodrygo, 24, does not seem to be in the plans of the new manager Xabi Alonso in the Bernabeu and is often linked to a move.
The Times report that Arsenal monitors the situation of the Brazilian, but would only consider a loan agreement. Rodrygo is under contract until 2028.
Kiwior wants to explore exit options
Jakub Kiwior is interested in leaving Arsenal for a club that would guarantee him regular playing time. Since he joined the Gunners of the Italian side Spezia in January 2023, Poland International Kiwior was largely a stopgap for his wounded teammates.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a solid series starts in the spring after the seasonal injury by Gabriel Magalhaes and was the subject of importance of Porto, whose bid of £ 26 million was rejected by Arsenal. But that may not be the end of the interest in Kiwior, as the athletic report that he would like to explore opportunities with clubs where he would be considered a first-choice player.
