Arsenal have reportedly accelerated their interest in signing Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze this summer, with the Gunners ready to trigger his £68million release clause

Arsenal and Crystal Palace are holding discussions over a deal for Eberechi Eze that could see a Gunners player move to Selhurst Park, as per a report, while Mikel Arteta’s side have been tipped to finalise the signing ‘in the next hour’ as the England ace is ‘desperate’ to join.

Eberechi Eze is another player strongly linked with the Gunners in recent days, with Mikel Arteta’s side now leading the race to sign the Crystal Palace star. However, there is something that Arsenal might need to do before they can sign him.
