The Guardian: Arsenal set to OPEN negotiations to sign £60m Premier League star — positive talks already held with player’s camp

Arsenal are reportedly set to open formal talks with Crystal Palace over the signing of Eberechi Eze.
 

The 27-year-old has been identified as a key target by Arsenal this summer, with Mikel Arteta eager to add more creativity to his squad ahead of next season.

Positive discussions have already taken place between the Gunners and Eze's representatives regarding a potential move to the Emirates.

While Arsenal are yet to formally approach Crystal Palace, that is expected to change soon.

According to The Guardian's Ed Aarons, Arsenal are preparing to open negotiations with Palace over a possible deal.

Eze is believed to have a £68m release clause in his current contract, and Palace are not expected to accept any offers below that figure.
