Arsenal Transfer News: Crystal Palace Boss provides Eberechi Eze update as Gunners Eye Barcelona Swoop
Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal players celebrate a winning start to the Premier League season but the last two weeks of the transfer window can provide fresh development
Arsenal made a winning start to his Premier League season on Sunday but there are still some questions that were left unanswered. Riccardo Calafioris near reach made the difference against Manchester United, but Mikel Artetas was not the best in all areas.
New big money that signed Viktor Gyokeres was convincing at his first start in England’s top flight, handled just an hour before making room for Kai Haveertz. It may be that Arteta decides that the Swede needs more support before the deadline.
Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is one of those who have been connected throughout the summer, although Tottenham shows up in Polposition with Arsenal that cools his interest, whether Eze’s impressive performance for Palace on Chelsea on Sunday can change things remains to be seen.
Gyokeres was not the only new signing involved for Arsenal at Old Trafford, with Gyokeres united by Martin Zubimendi in start XI and Noni Madueke who came from the bench. Kepa Arrizabalaga and Cristhian Mosquera were unused replacements, while Christian Norgaard missed with a minor injury.
Arsenal has two weeks left to make some final additions to his squad during the first half of the season. Here, Mirror football Looking at how things are formed.

Palace Boss gives Eze update
Crystal Palace Manager Oliver Glasner has issued an update on Eberechi Eze’s short-term future. England star got more than 80 minutes on Sunday despite connections to Arsenal and Tottenham under the window and is expected to be available for Palace’s Conference League-Play-off at Turnsday.
“The 15, 16 players who had the most minutes last year are still here,” Glasner told Sky Sports after his team got a speechless draw at Chelsea. “There are many rumors about Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi, but they were 100 percent with this group in Crystal Palace and they have proven it in a great way.
“EB should have scored a goal today, he had one and it was not allowed. He will come to Crystal Palace’s training place tomorrow, Tuesday, we take Wednesday and I expect him to be back and play for us against Fredrikstad.”
Arsenals de jong links
Reports in Spain indicate that Arsenal may be on its way to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona. The move would probably not be until next summer, when the Dutch international business in Catalunya expires.
Manchester United has long been linked to a Swoop for De Jong, mainly when his former Ajax manager Erik Ten Hag was at the helm. But when United released the league and named Ruben Amorim, that chat has become cold.
We would still probably take the Arsenal connections with a pinch of salt. De Jong has not expressed any desire to leave their current club, although the highly published financial situation that affects Barca can force them to make tweaks into their squad in 2026.
Zinchenko breakthrough
Arsenal Utility Man Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to Fenerbahce, according to reports in Turkey. Ukraine’s international is expected to move on a first loan with an alternative to buy, with the package worth a reported £ 11 million.
The 28-year-old has presented to Arsenal during the season but was not in the Matchday squad on Sunday. The arrival of Calafiori and the emergence of Myles Lewis-Skelly saw his opportunities limited last semester, although he got some playing time in the midfield.
Zinchenko’s current Arsenal business expires in 2026. It is unclear whether Gunners would urge him to sign an extension before joining a loan exit, after examining a permanent sale earlier this summer.
