The Guardian: Arsenal set to step up pursuit of Premier League playmaker amid claims of imminent offer – talks with player’s representatives already held

Arsenal are reportedly set to step up their interest in signing Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze this summer.
 

The 27-year-old attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a potential summer move to the Emirates, with talks between his representatives and Arsenal having taken place.

Now, The Guardian reports that the Gunners are expected to step up their efforts to land the England international.

Eze is understood to have a £68m release clause which can be activated.

However, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal are willing to trigger that clause, with recent reports stating they hope to sign him for a lower fee.
