Crystal Palace v Liverpool - 2025 FA Community Shield
Arsenal are yet to make progress in their transfer pursuit of Eberechi Eze, while Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their interest in the Crystal Palace talisman. Eze reportedly has a release clause in his current contract worth £68 million ($92m/€79m), which is active until August 15. The Gunners have added firepower to their attack this summer by signing Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Arch-rivals Spurs and Arsenal are battling in the transfer market to secure the signing of Palace talisman Eze this summer. The Gunners have been interested in the attacking midfielder throughout the summer, but they prioritised deals for the likes of Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga to enhance Mikel Arteta's squad. But as the transfer deadline is now fast approaching, the North London clubs could try one last time to further bolster their respective squads with the addition of the England international.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Amid speculations over Eze's future at Selhurst Park, David Ornstein has provided an update on the current situation, as the journalist believes neither of the Premier League clubs are in a position to match Eze's release of £68m. Ornstein added that had Gunners wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri left the club this summer, they would have thought of chasing Eze, however, with Nwaneri penning a new long-term contract, that chance has gone out of the window.
DID YOU KNOW?
Arsenal have great admiration for England star Eze, but they are currently evaluating the financial aspect of the deal, along with the player's age and his position on the pitch.
