Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Gunners locked in Eze BATTLE, Lookman ‘REJECTS move', Premier League ‘rivals eye Rodrygo'
Eze deal by numbers Arsenal have just three days left before Eberechi Eze's Crystal Palace release clause, reported to be valued at £68million, expires. Whether Mikel Arteta's men choose to ramp up their interest before then, or allow the deal to expire in hopes of getting him at a cut price later, remains to be seen. What is not in question is Eze's output, with his creative and finishing numbers in the Premier League last season setting the 27-year-old apart. Eze played the full 90 minutes as Crystal Palace beat Liverpool in the community shield on Sunday.

Thomas Frank remains tight-lipped over Tottenham's pursuit of Eberechi Eze
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank remained tight-lipped on the club's pursuit of Eberechi Eze after they entered talks with Crystal Palace over a potential transfer for the England attacker, the PA news agency understands. Spurs have held a long-standing interest in Eze, dating back to his time at QPR, but he subsequently signed for Palace in 2020. Eze has since developed into one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League and Tottenham have set his sights on landing the 27-year-old before the summer transfer window closes. But asked directly about Eze ahead of Wednesday's Super Cup clash with Paris St Germain, Frank said: 'I think there are a lot of good players out there. 'There are also a few from the PSG team but I don't think we can buy them right now. 'So in general, players in or players out, I always speaking about something that is done or not done. In general, I will speak about my own players.' Frank is in need of creativity, though, after chief playmaker James Maddison recently ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and with fellow midfielder Dejan Kulusevski still sidelined for the foreseeable future after his own knee surgery. After a failed pursuit of Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White last month, Spurs have this week ramped up their transfer activity, opening talks with Manchester City on Monday over the signing of versatile attacker Savinho and now in discussions with Palace over Eze. Eze has two years left on his contract at Selhurst Park and has helped the club to FA Cup and Community Shield success during recent months, the latter triumph achieved via a penalty shootout win over Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday. PA understands a release clause in the region of £68million remains active in Eze's current terms, but is set to expire on Friday. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will activate the clause or attempt to negotiate a more favourable deal, but the Europa League champions are determined to sign Eze, who scored 14 times and produced 11 assists in 43 appearances during the 2024-25 season.
