Viktor Gyokeres became the sixth player who arrived at the Emirate after his arrival of £ 64 million from Sporting Lisbon.

Arsenal has also added Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, MuskNoni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi To their rank, when they look to collect a squad that can win a first Premier League title since 2004.

But their summer expenses may not be made yet, with northern Londoners who are still eager for a move for Crystal Palace star Eze.

Gunners has long been linked to England International, with the two parties that hold talks in July, but they will not yet formalize their interest.

Talksport recently reported that EZE’s release clause of £ 68 million expired at the end of last month, while it is possible that one of their current players will have to make room to facilitate transfers.

What did Ray Parlor say about Eberechi Eze?

If it was up to Gunner’s Invincible parlor, Mikel Arteta would be wise to add the player to his list of alternatives, which would give troop depth in more than one position.

His best position is like No. 10 – currently occupied by Martin Odegaard and Ethan Nwaneri – but he can also play as a left wing.

When he played a game “Transfer Tinder” at Sports Breakfast Show, parlor asked about Arsenal’s summer business was finally completed.

He said: “I think there may be another signing.

Parlor emphasized the importance of adding a player of Eze’s quality to an Arsenal squad that will focus on silver on several fronts.

Gunners has made huge progress in his attempts to end his 21-year-old Premier League title drought, but will not yet cross the line.

They have also gone closer to Europe and reached the quarter finals and the Champions League semi -finals over the past two seasons.

At Eze, parlor continued: “He would be (play) from the left there, maybe, but you have to have options.

“You have to have many players who can just come in and get out of the team. And we all know that you have to have depth.

“Very deep if you play Champions League football, FA Cup, so many games.

“That’s why Norgaard would be good for Arsenal, because he can come in some games, he has the experience. And he knows he will be second violin, but he can still play a major role for Arsenal in some areas.

“So I think Eze would be the glaze on the cake.”

Eze would certainly bring proven Premier League quality to the table at Arsenal, after serving Plaudits for his screens in Selhurst Park since he joined by 2020.

The 27-year-old scored eight goals and received as many assists for the Eagles in the Premier League last season.

He also scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final, as Palace won his first major trophy ever with Victory over Manchester City at Wembley.
