Eberechi Eze to Arsenal off?

Arsenal have decided to abandon their pursuit of Eberechi Eze, according to TBR.

The Gunners have an interest in Eze, but Crystal Palace want over £60 million for the England international attacking midfielder.

Arsenal are not willing to pay that for Eze, claims TBR journalist Graeme Bailey.

Bailey said: “Eze is a tricky one. Steve Parish is asking well over £60 million, which is a difficult price. Arsenal liked the player, but that move seems to be off for now.

“Some people think Spurs might consider him too expensive, but I suspect they’ll try. They’ve paid that sort of money before, and I think Spurs will come in for him and probably get him.

“Unlike Arsenal, who always viewed Eze as a number 10 rather than a solution for the left-hand side, Tottenham see him as someone who can play on the left. That flexibility is likely to push Spurs to make a move in the coming days.

“Meanwhile, Arsenal are expected to focus on strengthening the left-hand side rather than pursuing someone they see primarily as a number 10. They are unlikely but not completely impossible to make a move for Eze at this point.”
