Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze in a deal worth £68 million, hijacking Tottenham’s long-standing pursuit of the England international.
The transfer matches the value of Eze’s recently expired release clause and reflects Arsenal’s aggressive summer rebuild under new sporting director Andrea Berta. Eze is expected to feature for Palace in their UEFA Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad before undergoing a medical in North London
Eze, 27, has long been admired by Mikel Arteta for his creativity, ball-carrying ability, and versatility across attacking roles. With Kai Havertz sidelined due to injury, Arsenal accelerated negotiations to secure a player who can operate as a No. 10 or off the left flank.
The move also carries emotional weight—Eze was once part of Arsenal’s academy and has been a lifelong supporter of the club. His arrival will mark Arsenal’s seventh signing of the summer, joining the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke.
