Arsenal assessing deal structure
Internal discussions at Arsenal are ongoing as the club weighs its next steps in securing Eze’s signature. The England international’s release clause is reportedly set at an initial £60m, with an additional £8m in potential add-ons, totaling £68m. Arsenal have the option to trigger this clause to open direct talks with Eze, but they could also negotiate with Palace to explore a different payment structure.
Eze open to move
Encouragingly for Arsenal, Eze is understood to be open to a move to the Emirates Stadium, boosting their confidence in landing the playmaker. Eze’s standout performances for Palace, where he contributed 11 goals and 4 assists in 27 Premier League appearances last season, have made him one of the most sought-after talents in England.
As Arsenal aim to bolster their squad for a Premier League title push, Eze’s versatility, technical ability, and proven top-flight quality make him an ideal fit. Whether the Gunners opt to meet the release clause or negotiate with Palace remains to be seen, but Eze’s potential arrival could be a statement signing for Arteta’s project.
