Arsenal are not wasting time this summer. After another strong campaign under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners know exactly what they want, and they are moving fast to get it.

With Champions League football secured and a young squad already full of promise, the next step is adding players who can unlock tight games and change the momentum in seconds.

One such player may now be within reach of the Gunners.

For weeks, the London club have quietly been in contact with one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking talents.

Also, their North London rivals were trying to get the player for their new manager, who likes him.

But it was the Gunners who began talks first, and things have moved quickly.

The player’s agent wants to secure this move, and the forward is ready to take the next step in his career. He needs a new challenge that allows him to compete at the very top.

He sees Arteta’s team as the right place to do that. The Gunners have been finishing in second place in the Premier League for the last few seasons.

That is why Arteta wants this player to push for the Premier League title. Every year, Arsenal lose out due to the squad depth. And Arteta wants to address that this season.

The Gunners are now aware of what the move will cost. The player’s release clause sits at around £68 million.

That is a big number, but Arsenal believe Eberechi Eze is worth it. That is why, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are pushing for the Crystal Palace star.

At 26, he is entering his prime. So, he could be a perfect fit in Arsenal’s midfield.

Arteta sees Eze as someone who can bring something that could make the difference in the title race.

Unless something changes soon, this Eberechi Eze to Arsenal deal looks like it will get done.
