Arsenal targeted Eberechi Eze to close a busy summer in the transfer market, but they only recruited this player if Crystal Palace agreed to reduce the price.
The Gunners' leadership could breathe a sigh of relief when he finally reached an agreement with striker Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting, the deal seemed to have time to become a reality. The Swedish player immediately went to Asia to join forces with his new teammates.
Gyokeres could debut on Thursday when Mikel Arteta's team confronted Tottenham in Hong Kong. He became Arsenal's sixth rookie during this transfer, after Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubendi.

Eberechi Eze is Arsenal's top target. |
However, Arsenal will not spend 68 million pounds of Eze's contract release with the home team at Selhurst Park, they will only be ready to perform the deal if Palace discount the price of this 27 -year -old player. Arsenal are also ready to use Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira and Karl Hein to exchange, thereby reducing transfer costs.
Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli may also be sold if Arsenal brought back a new winger. Eze's current contract with Palace is valid until June 2027. The British player has been attached to the Eagle in 6 seasons after joining the club from QPR with a transfer fee of about £ 17 million by 2020.
During that time, Eze scored 39 goals in all competitions for the southern London team, the most memorable goal of them came from the victory in the FA Cup final against Man City in May.
