Arsenal's Eze Pursuit Stalls Over Asking Price

Arsenal remain interested in signing Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze ahead of the transfer deadline, but negotiations have stalled over Palace's £68 million asking price. The situation is further complicated by Liverpool's interest in Palace defender Marc Guehi, which could impact Palace's willingness to negotiate over Eze. Arsenal, having invested heavily in new signings this summer, are assessing Eze's fit within their squad as they seek to boost midfield creativity. Eze, who is reportedly open to joining Arsenal, has added motivation due to his previous release from the club as a youth. Palace are under no financial pressure to sell and are expected to demand a high fee. The transfer market activity remains intense as the Premier League season approaches.
