North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are set for a summer transfer showdown as both clubs battle to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, one of the Premier League’s most in-demand midfielders.
🧠 Why Arsenal Want Eze
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to inject more creativity into his midfield, and Eze’s blend of flair, pace, and goal threat fits the bill perfectly. The 26-year-old playmaker notched 12 goals and 9 assists last season — his most productive Premier League campaign to date.
🏁 Spurs, United Also in the Mix
While Arsenal are preparing a formal bid, Tottenham have long tracked Eze and may step up their pursuit to avoid losing him to their North London rivals. Meanwhile, Manchester United are monitoring the situation as they weigh up alternatives to Viktor Gyökeres.
💷 Palace Stand Firm on £65M Valuation
Crystal Palace are reluctant to lose their talisman and are expected to demand over £65 million. Eze remains under contract until 2027, giving Palace leverage in negotiations. There’s currently no active release clause, making any deal potentially complex and competitive.
⚽ What This Means for the Transfer Market
If Arsenal can land Eze, it would send a clear message about their title ambitions in 2025–26. But with Spurs desperate to make a marquee signing and United lurking, this saga is just getting started.
