Press reports have revealed that Arsenal are indeed keen to secure some additional reinforcements in the attacking positions for next season, noting that Arsenal have shown widespread interest in signing Crystal Palace player Eberechi Eze, who is performing well for the Falcons on the other side of London.

After the team completed the signing of Swede Viktor Gyokeres from Lisbon for £55 million plus eight million euros in add-ons, it is worth noting that the Swede will travel to Asia soon to participate in the pre-season with his new team before the start of the new official season.

Good scoring numbers for Eze with Crystal Palace

Following his impressive performances last season under Austrian coach Oliver Glasner, which culminated in the club winning the FA Cup, the distinguished English striker contributed to 14 goals in 43 appearances, scoring 14 and assisting 11.

Many people close to the player believe the deal will be completed in the next few weeks due to Arsenal's enthusiasm for completing the deal.

The Gunners are attempting to structure a deal worth approximately £60 million for their primary transfer target, hoping to avoid triggering the player's £68 million release clause. Club officials believe the lower figure represents fair value for the sought-after talent as they work to strengthen Mikel Arteta's squad ahead of the new season. These negotiations demonstrate Arsenal's strategic approach to the summer transfer market as they balance ambitious recruitment with financial prudence.
