BREAKING NEWS LIVE Arsenal have an agreement on personal terms with Eberechi Eze and the player wants the move.

Crystal Palace price is three instalments of £20million with £8million in add-ons.

However with the way Andrea Berta operates this could just be a back-up plan for the club’s number one left winger target.

Arsenal is closing in on a deal to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for £68 million, with the player agreeing to a potential move. Eze, a 27-year-old England international, has been in impressive form, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists in 80 appearances for Palace. Here’s the latest on the transfer¹ ²:

– *Transfer Details*: Eze’s release clause is £67.5 million, which could rise to £68 million with add-ons. Arsenal is exploring payment structures, potentially paying £25-30 million upfront with the remainder in installments.

– *Contract*: Eze is expected to sign a contract with Arsenal, having given his approval for the move. The deal would make him Arsenal’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window.

– *Playing Style*: Eze’s versatility and creativity make him a great fit for Mikel Arteta’s system. He can play as a number 10, on the wing, or in central midfield, providing depth and dynamism to Arsenal’s squad.

– *Background*: Eze was released from Arsenal’s youth academy at 13 but has since become a standout player in the Premier League, helping Crystal Palace win the FA Cup and earning 12 England caps.

The signing would be a significant boost to Arsenal’s midfield, potentially challenging Martin Ødegaard for a starting spot and adding competition to the team. With Tottenham Hotspur initially interested but now focusing on other targets, Arsenal seems poised to land Eze.³
