Arsenal have turned their attention to Eberechi Eze after sealing the £63.7million signing of striker Viktor Gyokeres this week.

The Gunners are aiming to strike a deal around £60million, slightly below Eze’s £68million release clause, with performance-based incentives included.
Eze remains under contract at Crystal Palace until 2027, but Arsenal have made the 27-year-old their new top transfer target.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner, however, has warned the board not to sell key players, fearing a repeat of last season’s struggles.
He voiced frustration over a lack of transfer activity, saying their current squad is too thin to handle another major talent exit.
Glasner revealed he only has 17 outfield players and believes selling stars like Eze, Guehi, or Wharton could derail their campaign.
Liverpool are pushing for Marc Guehi, while Adam Wharton is being tracked by both Liverpool and Tottenham ahead of next season.
Palace’s quiet window is partly due to uncertainty over their European competition status following a demotion to the Conference League, reports Mirror Sports.
With one month left in the transfer window, Arsenal are pressing forward, but Glasner’s concerns put Palace under growing pressure to resist the offer from Arsenal.
