Arsenal are set to accelerate their pursuit of Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze once they finalize the signing of Viktor Gyökeres, according to recent reports.
Sources close to the England international indicate that Eze has identified Arsenal as his preferred destination, with confidence growing that a deal could be completed within the coming weeks.
The Gunners are reportedly looking to negotiate a fee in the region of £60 million for the talented midfielder, rather than triggering his £68 million release clause. Both clubs appear willing to find common ground on the transfer fee.
While Arsenal would ideally like to offload a player before finalizing the Eze transfer, insiders suggest the deal is not contingent on this happening. There are also discussions about potentially including Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson as part of the agreement to bring Eze to the Emirates Stadium.
Eze, who has impressed with his creative abilities and technical skills at Crystal Palace, would add significant depth to Arsenal's midfield options as they continue to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
The potential acquisition follows Arsenal's active transfer window, which has already seen them secure the signing of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyökeres. The North London club appears determined to bolster their squad as they aim to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title.
Crystal Palace will be reluctant to lose one of their star players, but the substantial transfer fee could provide them with resources to reinvest in their squad ahead of the new campaign.
