According to the Guardian, Arsenal intercepted Tottenham Hotspur, with a total price of 67.5 million pounds to sign Crystal Palace striker Eze.
It is understood that Havertz suffered a knee injury in the match against Manchester United last Sunday. Although initial signs that the player's injury is not serious, Arsenal feared that he might be out for a while and therefore took action against Eze, who have been in touch with the player's representative this summer. It was previously reported that Tottenham was close to agreeing to pay a 68 million pounds termination clause, but the clause had expired last week.
It is believed that Arsenal and Crystal Palace have reached an agreement to sign Eze for £60 million initial transfer fee and £7.5 million bonus. Queens Park Rangers who sell players for £19.5 million in 2020 will receive a 15% share. Personal terms are not expected to be the problem. Eze is about to become Arsenal's 7th sign this summer.
Arsenal has spent nearly 200 million pounds to sign, and the club hopes to sell some marginal players before the transfer window is closed. Kiviol and Zinchenko have attracted interest from Porto, and the Polish defender has also been linked to Italy and other Premier League clubs, but he prefers international transfers. Arsenal is discussing Fabio Vieira's transfer with Stuttgart, while Nelson may return to Fulham, and Eze's arrival may also prompt Trosad to leave the team.
