Arsenal<\/a>\u00a0could thwart Tottenham<\/a>‘s plans with an unexpected bid for Eberechi Eze, having reportedly ‘held talks’ with the England star’s representatives as they seek high-quality attacking signings. The Gunners are on the hunt for a top-notch No. 9 and a left-sided forward to boost their title aspirations next season.<\/p>\n

Their search for the latter could lead them into an unexpected contest with their arch-rivals Spurs for Eze. Crystal Palace talisman Eze is on Spurs’ shortlist with a deal for Bryan Mbeumo now seeming unlikely<\/a>. Manchester United<\/a> look set to land the Brentford winger instead. But Eze, 26, is also on Arsenal<\/a>‘s radar as they finalise their own list of attacking targets and The Sun<\/a> reports that discussions between Andrea Berta and Eze’s representatives have already occurred.<\/p>\n

It’s highlighted that Arsenal<\/a> have a keen interest in Eze, who has a \u00a368million release clause in his Eagles contract. Given his availability at that price, Eze presents a more affordable option than Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward, Rodrygo, whom the Gunners have also been pursuing this summer.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a>‘s interest will be a fresh setback for Tottenham<\/a>, who appear likely to miss out on signing Mbeumo. Thomas Frank was eager to bring the Cameroon star with him to north London from Brentford. However, joining Manchester United<\/a> was always Mbeumo’s preference, with a deal now close.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are working on numerous deals as it stands, with Martin Zubimendi all but an Arsenal<\/a> player. He will join from Real Sociedad for around \u00a355m.<\/p>\n

Christian Norgaard, the Brentford captain, is also set to undergo a medical to move to the Emirates. Arsenal<\/a> agreed a deal below \u00a310m with their London rival for the Dane on Wednesday. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is also poised to join from Chelsea<\/a> for as little as \u00a35m.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> also want to bring 20-year-old centre-back Cristhian Mosquera in from Valencia and could pay less than \u00a320m for him. Benjamin Sesko has emerged as the club’s top centre-forward target ahead of Viktor Gyokeres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal\u00a0could thwart Tottenham‘s plans with an unexpected bid for Eberechi Eze, having reportedly ‘held talks’ with the England…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217285,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[161,6167,1925,22356,20405,101,79,2358,10652,86096,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-217284","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-arsenal-fc","10":"tag-crystal-palace","11":"tag-crystal-palace-fc","12":"tag-eberechi-eze","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-spurs","16":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-fc","17":"tag-tottenham-transfer-news","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114752623179972176","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
