Overview

• Multiple outlets report an agreement between Arsenal and Crystal Palace, with Eze scheduled for medical tests in North London today.
• Reported valuations cite an initial fee near £60m, rising with add-ons to roughly £67.5m–£68m in line with this window’s clause figures.
• Oliver Glasner said Eze called in unwell before Palace’s Conference League win over Fredrikstad and stated the player will not feature for the club again.
• Tottenham, previously viewed as front-runners, are now pursuing alternative attackers, with options such as Christopher Nkunku and others discussed in reports.
• Background reporting says Eze, an Arsenal supporter released by the club at 13, had long asked whether Mikel Arteta wanted him, and interest intensified this week after Havertz’s setback.
