Eberechi Eze to Arsenal odds slash as Gunners eye Crystal Palace to boost squad
Mikel Arteta is keen to boost his attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season and Eberechi Eze appears to be number one on that list
The transfer saga surrounding Eberechi Eze’s future has taken another turn as the odds on Arsenal to get his signature have slashed dramatically after talks open between the club and the Crystal Palace forward.
The Gunners are looking to go one step closer in the title race having finished runners-up in the last three Premier League seasons and Mikel Arteta has his eye on the 26-year-old to bolster his squad.
It comes as a bitter blow to arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur who have been speculated to be long-time admirers of the England international as Spurs look to build on their Champions League qualification. But it seems Thomas Frank is getting a taste of the upcoming rivalry with Arteta next season as the Gunners emerge as frontrunners to get Eze’s signature on the dotted line.
William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps said: “Odds of Eberechi Eze joining Arsenal have absolutely plummeted in recent days and there’s clearly growing confidence among punters that a deal is close. From a 20/1 long-shot to odds-on 4/6 favourite in a matter of days – it’s one of the biggest moves in the market this window.
“Thomas Frank’s Tottenham remain hot on their arch-rival’s heels at 7/4 to sign the talented attacking midfielder. Bayern Munich are the shortest club outside of the Premier League that are in the hunt to secure Eze’s signature, while Manchester City and Newcastle are both 16/1, with Manchester United trailing slightly behind at 18/1.”
Eze is now stranger to Arsenal having been at the club when he was a young teenager before he was released as a 13-year-old. But Tottenham are equally keen on the young star who was instrumental in Crystal Palace’s FA Cup winning campaign.
Spurs are keen to pay the £68million release clause with Thomas Frank a huge fan of the former QPR player but will need to do some convincing with Arsenal now in the mix as well. Both clubs offer Champions League football but Frank has a huge task to transform the club from their worst Premier League campaign in history to a solid top six side at the very least.
