It is believed that the Gunners are trying to negotiate the English talent\u2019s \u00a360m release clause instead of activating it in this summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Eze\u2019s Decent Numbers In The Premier League<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 27-year-old managed to put in a series of impressive displays for the Eagles in the final third last season. Eze netted 14 goals and earned 11 assists in 43 matches for Crystal Palace last season across all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The London-born talent was a real menace in the final third as he averaged 3.48 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept only 27% of his attempts on target. Eze distributed the ball well in the opponent\u2019s half based on his pass completion rate of 74.2% in the English first division (stats via <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ae4fc6a4\/Eberechi-Eze\">fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Eze is under contract at Selhurst Park until the summer of 2027. Thus, the Gunners would have to make a big offer if they are serious about acquiring his services this off-season.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328295\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328295\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Arsenal\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-1024x620.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-768x465.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-1536x929.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-2048x1239.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-600x363.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-696x421.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-1392x842.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-1068x646.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-1920x1162.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-694x420.jpg 694w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crystal-palace-fc-v-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc-premier-league-2-1388x840.jpg 1388w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-328295\">LONDON, ENGLAND \u2013 MAY 20: Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace during the Premier League match between Crystal Palace FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC at Selhurst Park on May 20, 2025 in London, England.

He has got the vision to create a few inviting chances for his teammates to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>The English sensation is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs in the opponent\u2019s half. Eze can contribute by scoring and creating a handful of important goals for his team. He primarily operates in the number ten position but can also function as a left-sided wide player if asked to do so by his manager.<\/p>\n<p>Eze already knows the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a> well and won\u2019t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club. We can expect him to inject more quality and depth into Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta\u2019s frontline.<\/p>\n<p>At 27, Eze is about to enter his prime which makes him a great choice for <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/arsenal\/\">the Gunners<\/a> to consider in this summer transfer window. All in all, Arteta would be wise to go for a player of his quality and skill set this off-season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent report, The Athletic mentioned that Arsenal remain keen on signing Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze this summer.
