Arsenal to hijack Tottenham’s move for Eberechi Eze?! Gunners eye Crystal Palace star as cheaper Rodrygo alternative

The Gunners are desperate to improve their attacking options and Eze is emerging as a target, with his £68m release clause making him affordable, report talkSPORT. Tottenham were said to be leading the chase for the England international but it could now be a battle between two north London clubs to secure his signature.

Eze has developed into one of the most exciting players in the country during his five seasons at Crystal Palace, scoring the winner in the FA Cup final against Manchester City in May as part of a run of seven goals in six matches. He has scored 40 goals and registered 28 assists for Palace in total.

Arsenal are also said to be considering signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid as they aim to improve their options down the left-hand side. Eze may be the cheaper deal to do, however.

Arsenal are getting busy in the transfer market, with deals for Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi all but done and reported interest in Cristhian Mosquera and Benjamin Sesko.
