Arsenal is expected to close a deal for Ebereechi Eze while Mikel Arteta will continue to strengthen its side in the summer transfer window while the Gunners want to win the Premier League
Arsenal burst back in life in the transfer window to agree a deal for Ebereechi Eze and to catch up in the race for the signature of the Crystal Palace star. The International of England would add a blockbuster arrival for the Mikel Arteta team.
Eze will join Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke and Victor Gyokees while the Gunners finally want to earn a Premier League title among their Spanish coach. The arrival of the midfielder can be current after the last injury of Kai Havertz.
It is the arrival of Eze who will dominate the headlines in the coming days, but where will Arsenal go afterwards? Departure may be necessary.
Kieran Tierney and Jorginho have already left for free, but the will of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Jukub Kiwior could still bring in finances. It is that area that is said to have been a priority late in the window.
Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumors around the Emirates.
Add Arsenal to shortlist
Arsenal has placed Lyon Malick Fofana after the shortlist according to reports from France. The 20-year-old remains an important player for the French side, but has aroused the Gunners prior to the end of the transfer window, per l'équipe.
Lyon is said to have already seen one of Everton, and Fofana is also connected to Manchester United. The Ligue 1 Giants are still in financial struggle and require that € 40 million (£ 34.6 million) will be increased at the end of the month – the appreciation of Fofana.
Arsenal, however, is not alone to consider Fofana. Bayern Munich would also consider a movement in the last days of the transfer window.
Goalkeeper is approaching the movement
Werder Bremen comes after the signing of Arsenal -goalkeeper Karl Hein, per kicker, via Sport Witness. The Bundesliga side debated the deal, because they also considered Alexander Schwolow, but opted for the Gunners Shotstopper.
It is now said that a deal is within the hands between the parties. Per Mertesacker, the head of the development of the youth development of Arsenal, was reportedly involved in negotiations. The North London side is expected to yield a reimbursement of less than € 1 million (£ 0.87 million).
Eze -schedule
Ebereechi Eze is expected to have his medical on Friday. The midfield star has already agreed personal conditions with Arsenal prior to a switch to the Emirates with only formalities to get a deal over the line.
However, it would see a tight schedule for the 27-year-old to meet the deadline that needs this weekend. Arsenal is facing Leeds on Saturday evening.
The Crystal Palace -time must be registered with its new club at noon to be eligible to prevent. That could see the future signing of Arsenal against Liverpool the following week.
