Eberechi Eze is open to joining Arsenal, as the north Londoners could open concrete talks with Crystal Palace in the coming period.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal were handed a big boost in the pursuit of their next transfer target in Eberechi Eze. The Crystal Palace star is reportedly keen on the switch to north London, with the Gunners likely to open talks with the Eagles to set the deal in motion.

Arsenal have had a busy few days with regards to transfer activity. After a period where things looked grim on the transfer front, the Gunners have stepped up in a big way. By the end of the current week, they could potentially announce their sixth summer signing as they have advanced in pursuit of defender Cristhian Mosquera.

They have already secured an agreement for Viktor Gyokeres, with the striker’s signing thought to be very important before the window began. Now, once the Swede’s move is finalised, Arsenal are expected to close down on another key target, Eberechi Eze.

The Gunners had contacted Eze’s camp over a deal, and the initial feeling was that the player would like the idea of playing at the Emirates. The Palace star has entered a crucial stage in his career where he will jump at the chance of playing at the top level and in competitions like the Champions League. He has probably done his part for the Eagles, scoring 25 goals and assists last season while helping the team land the FA Cup.

Arsenal are still very much interested in adding Eze to the mix, and after a busy few days of transfer flurry, they are ready to concentrate on the Palace star. He has a reported £68 million release clause, which could be the main talking point in thispursuit, although the Gunners might probably trigger the clause.

Arsenal to negotiate for Eberechi Eze

Arsenal are not keen ot miss out on such a big transfer opportunity. There have been numerous reports regarding this chase of Eze, including stories suggesting the Gunners could offer a player-plus-cash deal. However, the main issue here is that while Arsenal are prepared to pay the release clause, they want to structure it in a way that suits their pockets.

Eze is open to the switch to Arsenal, and now that he’s back from his holidays, there is the potential for this deal to advance. The Gunners might be boosted with the prospect of the player’s soft approval on the switch, but they will aim to negotiate terms that will suit all parties concerned.
