As reported by BBC Sport's senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel last week, Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze is on Arsenal's list of summer transfer targets. The England international, 27, has release clause of £60m, plus £8m in potential add-ons, in his contract, which has two years to run.

Arsenal have already spent £55m on signing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, plus a further £5m on Kepa Arrizabalaga, while they are also close to agreeing a €80m (£69m) deal with Sporting CP to sign Viktor Gyokeres and are set to sign Brentford captain Christian Norgaard for £12m.

Arsenal have signed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and midfielder Martin Zubimendi this summer as they aim to sign attacking reinforcements; Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Rodrygo and Viktor Gyokeres are transfer targets for Mikel Artetas side;
