Should the transfer be completed, Eze would add to Mikel Arteta’s already bolstered attack. Arsenal have brought in Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP for €63.5m and secured Noni Madueke from Chelsea in a £48.5m move earlier this summer, while teenage prospect Ethan Nwaneri has committed his long-term future to the club.
