Arsenal deal with Eberechi Eze set to finalize under specified terms

In a major transfer development, Arsenal has announced the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for a reported fee of around 80 million euros. This comes despite Tottenham Hotspur also showing interest in the highly-coveted midfielder.

Eze, a former Hale End academy graduate, had an exceptional season last year, which was undoubtedly the best of his career. His stellar performance earned him a spot in our website's list of the best attacking midfielders in the world. The 24-year-old also captured the attention of the national team, securing 11 caps for England.

Arsenal's interest in Eze has been no secret, with the player himself expressing a preference for a move to the North London club should he leave Crystal Palace this summer. However, no concrete approach had been made until now.

The Gunners' current budget, which only stretches to Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres, might pose a challenge. Yet, Arsenal is reportedly considering a deal to pay for Eze in three £20 million installments.

Eze's arrival at Arsenal could potentially release pressure on Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, providing a fresh dynamic to the team's midfield. However, as the star man at Crystal Palace, Eze may see his minutes significantly diminished if he moves to Arsenal, a prospect that could be a double-edged sword for the player.

It's worth noting that Eze played a crucial role in Crystal Palace's historic FA Cup final victory, scoring a goal to help his team win their first-ever major trophy. This achievement, coupled with his impressive performances, has made him one of the playmakers Arsenal are considering.

Despite the excitement surrounding Eze's potential move, there is a possibility that Liverpool may activate their long-term interest in the player. However, no official bid has been made yet, and the sales of fringe players may not raise enough budget to complete a deal for Eze.

In a surprising twist, Gabriel Martinelli leaving Arsenal has been ruled out, ensuring that the club's focus remains on strengthening their squad for the upcoming season. With Eze now officially an Arsenal player, fans can look forward to an exciting new chapter in the club's history.

Our website recognized Eze as the 39th best player in the Premier League last season, a testament to his skills and potential. As Arsenal continues to strengthen their squad, Eze's addition could prove to be a game-changer in their pursuit of silverware.
