Arsenal are reportedly poised to miss the deadline to trigger the release clause in Eberechi Eze’s Crystal Palace contract, which represents a major blow to their hopes of signing the sought-after playmaker.
The Gunners have already spent a reported £193.8 million ($256.2 million) on transfers this summer, specifically bolstering their frontline with Viktor Gyökeres and Noni Madueke. However, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the club remain “open” to further additions, with Eze widely believed to rank among the leading targets in north London.
