As per Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are still in touch with Eberechi Eze about a possible move. Although, formal talks with Crystal Palace haven’t taken off yet.
Fabrizio Romano Stats that Arsenal are Still Tracking Eze Situation
Arsenal remain firmly interest in Eberechi Eze at the moment. But, there are no talks with Crystal Palace have begun as of recent stages. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners have been in regular contact with Eze’s camp including the new manager.
The Gunners’ interest in Eze follows a busy transfer window for the club. The fans have recently welcomed Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. He is likely to lead the line for Mikel Arteta. All signings encourage how serious the club will now be about attracting players. They want to strengthen all areas of the pitch. However, any possible arrival of Eze will likely depend on how many players Arsenal sell over next few days.
Arteta’s Plans For New Arrivals
Adding Eze to this Arsenal side would give Arteta another creative spark. Meanwhile, main man Martin Odegaard continues to be the key. Young Ethan Nwaneri is next in the line. So, Eze will give a different option. He can play in both an attacking midfield role or naturally on the left wing. That makes him a good option. If Eze were to join Arsenal, Arteta could play him in multiple ways depending on the needs.
Eze is also said to be open to joining the North London club. That said, it could help when the Gunners try to initiate open talks with Crystal Palace.
However, for the time being, Arsenal are taking their time and looking to move some players about in the squad. But, the fact that Eze is the name being talked about, it is clear that Arsenal are looking for more from this summer window.
