Crystal Palace have offered a hint about the future of Eberechi Eze amid links of a potential transfer to Arsenal.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with signing Eze this summer as they continue their busy plans for the ongoing transfer window.
Mikel Arteta has already added four new signings to his squad with the additions of Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Arsenal are also closing in on a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon, which would complete their long-awaited search for a new striker, with the forward finally set to fly in and complete his move - according to the latest reports.
Amid all of the recent speculation, Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Eze this summer as his future with Palace becomes increasingly uncertain.
On Thursday, Palace posted a video announcing their new away kit for the upcoming season. However, despite playing a key role in the Eagles' success last term, Eze did not feature in the video.
Palace's video also had their FA Cup triumph from last season feature heavily in the announcement for the new kit.
Eze scored the winning goal in the final against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium last term, but was still not one of the Palace players modelling the new kit.
The move not to include Eze in the promotional video perhaps hints that his future at Palace is far from certain heading into the new season.
It was reported by football.london back in May that Eze had been identified by Arsenal as a transfer target for this summer.
The Gunners have since made four new signings and are on the verge of completing a fifth once Gyokeres joins from Sporting.
Eze is also thought to have a £67.5million release clause in his contract at Palace, but whether or not that will lead to Arsenal making a formal approach to the Eagles remains to be seen.
