Arsenal fans have spotted one Crystal Palace player that they would love the club to sign this summer, following an impressive display against the Gunners.

The clamour came following a first half at the Emirates Stadium that was overshadowed by both clubs and their cup exploits in the week ahead.

While Arsenal are thinking about the final four of the Champions League against PSG, Crystal Palace have a semi-final of their own in the FA Cup over the weekend.

The Gunners made a few changes, with Mikel Merino and Ben White absent from the squad, with the rotation showing in a low-key affair.

Arsenal did take the lead through Jakub Kiwior, but that was pegged back by a moment of brilliance from Eberechi Eze.

Arsenal fans want to re-sign Eberechi Eze in summer transfer window

One of the forwards who managed to impress was Eberechi Eze, who scored a stunning volley to punish Arsenal from a corner, which is something of a rarity for Arsenal to concede.

The England international took the effort sweetly, avoiding any oncoming defenders and the outstretched hand of David Raya.

Eze, a former Arsenal academy starlet, caught the eye of supporters, who took to social media to plead with Andrea Berta to make a transfer possible this summer.

“Can we sign Eze? Please and thank you,” one supporter said on social media on the star.

“Is ebere eze singable for arsenal please? What a player,” another added.

Others speculated a move, stating: “EBERECHI EZE TO ARSENAL?” while another said: “Bring Eze.”

Another supporter questioned: “Eze or Odegaard?”

Eze is a possible option this summer, with the star holding a £68million release clause in his contract that could facilitate a move.

With Arsenal looking to bolster their forward options this summer, it may be a possibility.

What Eberechi Eze said about Arsenal exit

As a youngster, Eberechi Eze was in the Arsenal academy, but he was released in circumstances that devastated the star.

His journey to the top has followed a different route with the likes of Wycombe and QPR before joining Crystal Palace.

Reflecting back on his days at Arsenal, Eze told The Independent back in 2020: “I was 13 [when released by Arsenal]. That was the worst one.

“I remember crying in my room for a solid week, my mum telling me that it’s going to be OK, but not being able to get over it.”

While it was a horrible moment, Eze has since progressed to the very top and could be an option to return to Arsenal.
