Arsenal and Crystal Palace have been involved in recent club-to-club talks over the transfer of Eberechi Eze. The Gunners have been heavily active in the market this summer and have already spent close to £200million on six new players.

Eberechi Eze’s £68 million release clause has expired on Friday, August 1, leaving Crystal Palace and Arsenal at crossroads.

Eberechi Eze is Arsenal's next attacking target after a summer which has already seen the Gunners revamp their forward line.
