Eberechi Eze stance on Arsenal transfer as Marc Guehi bombshell emerges after announcement

Arsenal are up to five signings this summer transfer window after announcing the arrival of Cristhian Mosquera.

However, they hope their total on that front will rise to at least seven before the market closes for another year. Viktor Gyokeres is due to be the next new player joining the team on their pre-season tour of Asia.

A seventh may have to wait until the window's final month, though, as after the Gyokeres transfer there is a belief that outgoings will become the focus, with Arsenal yet to sanction a significant sale.

Here is a round-up of the latest reports:

Eze expectation emerges

Eberechi Eze has reportedly told friends he will sign for the Gunners this summer. TBR claims the player has said that he expects to leave Crystal Palace.

football.london says:Arsenal are not yet done in the market. Their primary target between now and its conclusion remains Eze.

Palace, however, are still standing firm on a club paying the player's £67.5m release clause. There is a belief that alternatives such as Xavi Simons would be cheaper options.

Chelsea, though, are understood to be in advanced talks with RB Leipzig for the Netherlands international.

Therefore, that is one choice Arsenal potentially will not have next month.

Guehi hopes revealed

Arsenal reportedly made it clear to Marc Guehi that they would strongly consider signing the Palace captain this summer. The Telegraph claims that consideration included making known that they would spend what was necessary.

football.london says: Links to Guehi emerged after impressing for England in Germany at last summer's European Championship. The defender would have been perfect to compete with Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba.

However, making the move 12 months on with a World Cup now less than a year away would understandably be a more difficult sell. Liverpool may well be the player's eventually destination, this summer or next.
