Report: Arsenal set to face stiff competition for Premier League attacking midfielder — six clubs in race for player’s signature

Arsenal are reportedly set to face stiff competition for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze this summer, with five other clubs also expressing interest.
 

The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the Premier League's top attacking midfielders in recent years.

His impressive performances have unsurprisingly attracted serious interest from several top clubs across Europe.

In recent days, Arsenal have emerged as a contender to sign the England international, with reports suggesting that talks have already taken place between the Gunners and Eze's representatives.

Now, TBR Football's Graeme Bailey claims Eze has no shortage of suitors this summer, with a potential exit from Selhurst Park looking increasingly likely.

A total of six Premier League clubs are understood to have made approaches to sign the Palace star.

Arsenal, along with Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Aston Villa, are all said to have enquired about Eze's availability in recent times.

However, it is Tottenham who are currently believed to be leading the race for the player's signature.

It remains to be seen whether any of the other clubs will step up their pursuit of the Englishman ahead of next season.
