Overview

• The Gunners have spent nearly £200 million on six new signings across attack, midfield and goalkeeping this summer.
• Arsenal lead the chase for Crystal Palace’s creative midfielder Eberechi Eze with an offer of £30 million up front and £38 million in instalments.
• Their pursuit is contingent on Palace agreeing to reduce the effective fee or on Arsenal generating funds through the sale of fringe players.
• Potential departures include Leandro Trossard, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fábio Vieira and Karl Hein to create the necessary budget headroom.
• The club is also prepared to include Reiss Nelson in a player-plus-cash deal to sweeten their proposal and expedite negotiations.
