Gunners Hold Talks With Playmaker’s Camp as North London Rivals Battle for £67.5m Talent
Arsenal have entered the race to sign Crystal Palace’s creative maestro Eberechi Eze, setting the stage for a potential summer transfer battle with arch-rivals Tottenham.
According to The Guardian, the Gunners have already taken the first steps in their pursuit, holding discussions with Eze’s representatives over the weekend to explore personal terms. However, they are yet to approach Palace directly—a move that could test the South London club’s resolve, given Eze’s hefty £67.5 million release clause.
The 25-year-old England international, who was surprisingly let go by Arsenal as a teenager, has blossomed into one of the Premier League’s most exciting attackers. His dazzling dribbling, eye for goal, and ability to unlock defenses have made him a prime target for Mikel Arteta, who is keen to add more creativity to his squad ahead of next season.
But Arsenal aren’t the only North London club in the mix. Tottenham, long-time admirers of Eze, have also been weighing up a move as they look to make a marquee signing for incoming manager Thomas Frank. Whether either club will meet Palace’s valuation remains uncertain, with the Eagles reportedly unwilling to negotiate below the release clause.
For Eze, the interest marks a potential full-circle moment—a return to the club that once deemed him surplus to requirements, or a chance to become the latest star in Spurs’ rebuild. One thing is clear: his next move could be one of the summer’s biggest transfer sagas.
