Arsenal have already made two major signings in Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi and more could be on the way as Mikel Arteta eye up moves for Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze

Hojlund has largely flattered to deceive at Old Trafford since his high-profile £72m move from Atalanta two summers ago and is now being linked with a return to Serie A with Inter Milan.

Arsenal are set to be busy in the summer transfer window with several deals in the pipeline as Mikel Arteta looks to overhaul his squad ahead of the 2026/27 season

Once that figure came to light, many supporters began to worry that Arsenal are eyeing a move for Madueke instead of Eze, because both players can play out wide. Romano has now eased those fears by revealing that the Madueke deal is not related to Arsenal’s interest in Eze — the Gunners remain keen on the Crystal Palace star.

Arsenal are weighing up a swap deal for Eberechi Eze with Andrea Berta ‘determined’ to seal the transfer as soon as possible, according to reports. The Gunners are on the lookout for a new attacking midfielder and at least one winger in the summer transfer window as they look to give Mikel Arteta the tools to compete on all fronts.

Arsenal have it in their budget to make two massive signings and a number of small purchases like Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard. With Martin Zubimendi and a new striker – very likely to be Viktor Gyokeres – their marquee signings, Mikel Arteta will need to sell off some players first before he can think about Eze.

Arsenal have already added a couple of new faces to Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer but still have a few major deals in the pipeline including a move for Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze

Eze has a release clause worth as much as €80 million, so Arsenal are exploring whether a different formula could be agreed with Crystal Palace, potentially one that would see them spend slightly more in exchange for better payment terms.

Eze has caught the eye of both north London clubs, although Tottenham’s long-standing interest has seemingly cooled in recent weeks. More intrigue has arrived from the Emirates, with Arsenal pursuing Eze independently to their striker and winger chases.

Arsenal have a secret weapon in the race to sign Eberechi Eze. The Crystal Palace midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer as Mike Arteta gears up for another title race.
