Arsenal appear close to confirming the signing of Eberechi Eze as the Crystal Palace man’s next club odds are slashed on a move to the Gunners.
The North London club recently completed the signing of forward Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP.
But it now appears that Mikel Arteta’s side is set to bring in another top-class attacker in the form of Eberechi Eze.
According to a report by The Independent, Arsenal are readying a bid worth around £60 million for the Crystal Palace man.
Eze had a super season at Selhurst Park under Oliver Glasner. With eight goals and eight assists, he also scored the winner as Palace won the FA Cup for the first time in their history.
A deal is thought to be close, with Arsenal considering including winger Reiss Nelson as part of negotiations.
And it now seems that the Gunners are about to get their man, with the odds slashed on Eze’s next club being Arsenal.
Arsenal, who unveiled their new 2025-26 away kit last week, will be hoping the bookies have got this one right.

Eberechi Eze Arsenal Odds Slashed
The best football betting sites in the UK are now giving odds as low as 1/6 on Eze joining Arsenal.
As it stands, the bookmakers believe he is more likely to remain at Palace than to move anywhere besides the Emirates.
Should Eberechi join Arsenal, it wouldn’t be the first London club to confirm an Eze summer signing.
Eberechi Eze’s brother, Ikechi, recently signed for seventh-tier Dartford FC.
Where Would Eze Play For Arsenal?
For most of his career, Eberechi Eze has preferred to play in a central role.
A creative attacking midfielder with an eye for goal, he would be a great signing for Arsenal.
However, With Gunners talisman Martin Odergaard often filling the central 10 role, Eze may move out wide.
The 27-year-old has frequently been deployed on the left wing, and is very comfortable on the flanks.
And he could also be used to slot in behind Arsenal’s main striker in a more advanced, false nine role.
Eberechi Eze Stats
In terms of stats, Eze was incredible for Crystal Palace last season.
He topped the charts at the club for assists, key passes, shots per game and dribbles per game.
So it’s no surprise to see him linked with a big move to a top club like Arsenal.
Eze has also broken on to the international scene over the past two seasons.
The 12-cap England international has one goal for the Three Lions so far.
To date, Eberechi Eze has made 167 Crystal Palace appearances, scoring 40 goals and providing 28 assists.
