Eberechi Eze Transfer To Arsenal Hotting Up
With around a month till the start of the Premier League 2025/26 season, the Eze transfer news is hitting the headlines most days.
Crystal Palace’s first league game is away to Chelsea on August 17th, while a week before that have a Community Shield date with Liverpool on August 10th.
But will Eberechi Eze be involved in either game?
At the moment he’s still an Eagle – but the Eze transfer situation is hotting up by the hour, with Arsenal the latest club seemingly in pole position.
Arsenal are believed to have beaten off Europa League winners Tottenham in the race to sign Eze – but Palace are still holding out.
The Gunners are expected to make a formal approach to Palace in the coming days to try and move a possible deal on.
With the Eze transfer fee expected to be £68m+, with the England winger having an exit clause set at that figure.
Arsenal are 5/2 to win the 2025/26 Premier League with the best football betting sites, with only Liverpool ahead of them in the market at 2/1.
