Arsenal make move for Eze with player open to transfer

The 27-year-old winger, who has impressed with his flair and creativity at Selhurst Park, is reportedly keen on taking the next step in his career—and a switch to north London may be on the cards.
Arsenal have been tracking him closely and are fully aware of the terms of his £68 million release clause. Club sources suggest Mikel Arteta is a strong admirer of the England international, viewing him as a perfect fit for a squad increasingly built around technical quality and attacking intelligence.
Eze's openness to the move may also be influenced by personal history: the Palace talisman once came through Arsenal's youth ranks before being released at the age of 13. That early connection is said to have left a lasting impression, making the prospect of returning to the Emirates particularly appealing.
The Gunners' pursuit of Eze reflects their ongoing tactical evolution, with a clear focus on adding more creativity and dynamism in midfield areas.
While no formal bid has yet been lodged, direct contact earlier this week signals that the club's interest is serious—and this could be one to watch as the transfer window unfolds.
