JUST NOW: CONFIRMED MADUEKE & VICTOR GYOKERES FLYING FOR MEDICAL TEST TO ARSENAL
Arsenal and Crystal Palace are willing to discuss a player-plus-cash deal for Eberechi Eze, journalist Steve Kay has revealed.
The Gunners remain determined to land the England international this summer to further bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking options, but are facing a ‘complicated’ round of negotiations
Eze reportedly has a release clause worth between €70m and €80m, and Arsenal would ideally like to pay less, having already splashed out considerably on new signings this offseason.
As a result, both clubs are open to discussing a potential deal involving more players, with Palace particularly keen on landing an ‘unbelievable’ Arsenal winger in exchange for Eze.
Crystal Palace Eyeing Leandro Trossard
According to Kay, Palace would be particularly keen on receiving Leandro Trossard as part of the Eze deal, as Oliver Glasner is an admirer of the Belgium international.
Trossard has recently been in contract talks with the North London club, with his current deal set to expire next year,
But his departure could still emerge as a real possibility this summer after he reportedly indicated to Arteta that he wants to leave.
Arsenal have also held talks with Reiss Nelson and Fabio Vieira to gauge their interest in a potential move to Palace, as both players could also be on the move in the coming weeks.
Arsenal are now close to finalising Noni Madueke’s move from Chelsea and have made progress on a deal for Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera.
The Spanish defender could travel for his Emirates medical this week after the clubs sealed a verbal agreement over his €20m move.
