BREAKING: Arsenal want to seal Eberechi Eze deal THIS WEEK — opening bid to follow once Fabio Vieira’s move to Stuttgart progresses

Arsenal are reportedly set to submit an initial offer for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze once Fabio Vieira's potential move to Stuttgart progresses.
 

The 27-year-old is believed to be Arsenal's top target for the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window, but any formal bid is likely to depend on player sales.

According to FootballTransfers, Arsenal are prepared to make their opening offer for Eze once progress is made on outgoings — with Fabio Vieira's potential transfer to Bundesliga side Stuttgart key to the process.

The Athletic's David Ornstein exclusively reported that Stuttgart are in talks with Arsenal over a permanent deal for Vieira, and all parties are keen to conclude negotiations swiftly.

Once the deal for the Portuguese midfielder edges closer to completion, Arsenal are expected to launch a bid for the Crystal Palace playmaker.

The Gunners are aiming to have a deal for the England international in place as early as this week.
