Arsenal is close to achieving a £ 63.7 million deal for Spits Viktor Gyokeres and they have identified Crystal Palace star Ebereechi Eze as their next target this summer
Arsenal is ready to focus their attention on Ebereechi Eze as soon as they get a deal for Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokees over the line – tipped with the Crystal Palace star to leave the club this summer.
Eze has just scored the goal that the FA Cup has delivered to Selhurst Park and also scored victory over Aston Villa in the semi -final. The Eagles hope to retain their top talent, but keeping their wing player can prove a challenge.
Arsenal is almost at the conclusion of a £ 63.7 million deal for Gyokeres, with a no. 9 their priority this summer, but they will not stop there and will focus their attention on adding even more firepower to their front line.
Eze's preference is a switch to the emirates, according to the independent, and those who are close to the player are convinced that a deal to take him to Arsenal will be completed in the coming weeks.
The Gunners hope to close a deal for £ 60 million, instead of the reported release clause of £ 68 million, but negotiations still have to be completed with Palace, who will be hatred to continue to lose their top talent. Last summer they sold Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, while defender Marc Guehi is connected to a move.
It was previously claimed that Arsenal architected a deal with three episodes of £ 20 million. During the summer, the Noord -Londers are linked to adding a broad attacker to offer competition for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal was connected to a movement for Nico Williams, who was also on the Barcelona radar. It is thought that a move to the Nou camp was on the cards, but the delay eventually saw that the Spanish winger chose to write a new 10-year deal with Athletic Bilbao.
Rodrygo from Real Madrid, who is confronted with an uncertain future at Real Madrid, has also linked to a move to the Emirates, but it now seems that Arsenal will try to close a deal for Eze. Last week the Noord -Londers completed a deal to land Noni Madueke from Chelsea.
Earlier this week, Arteta claimed: “There is still a long time in the window and we are still looking. In terms of figures we are short and we have to improve the depth and quality of the team. We look constantly on the market.”
