Arsenal Considers Eze Move as Arteta Aims for Triple Attack Enhancement
David Ornstein has confirmed Arsenal’s intentions for a triple forward acquisition, with **Eberechi Eze** emerging as a key target. The Gunners are evaluating the Crystal Palace star as part of Mikel Arteta’s strategy to add versatility and creativity to their attack.
#### **Eze Viewed as Integral to Arsenal’s Summer Strategy**
Ornstein reports:
> *“One situation to monitor is Arsenal’s interest in Eberechi Eze. The 27-year-old is among the options being evaluated as Mikel Arteta’s team looks for a versatile forward.”*
Eze fits Arteta’s criteria: technically gifted, adaptable across multiple positions (wing or central roles), and capable of breaking down defensive blocks—a weakness for Arsenal last season. Despite having the league’s best defense, the Gunners scored just **69 league goals**, 17 fewer than champions Liverpool.
#### **No Contact Made Yet, But Interest is Genuine**
While no formal talks have occurred with Crystal Palace, Arsenal are seriously considering a move. Eze has a **£68 million release clause**, but the club hopes to negotiate a lower fee, possibly structured as **£45 million upfront with add-ons**.
#### **Targets Beyond Eze Show Ambition**
Eze is **not** a backup option. Ornstein notes:
> *“This would be distinct from their pursuit of a striker and left winger.”*
Other targets include:
- **Left wing**: Rodrygo, Anthony Gordon, Nico Williams (likely joining Barcelona).
- **Striker**: Benjamin Šeško and Viktor Gyökeres.
A triple signing would transform Arsenal’s attack from predictable to dynamic, addressing their over-reliance on Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard.
Eze Ready for a Step Up
Eze recorded **11 goals and 4 assists** last season under Oliver Glasner, showcasing his growth. With Tottenham uninterested and no rival bids, Arsenal have a clear path. His **homegrown status** and Premier League pedigree make him an ideal fit.
