Arsenal have had a massive summer transfer window, and they might not be done yet.

Indeed, while Arsenal have spent around £200m this summer already, they could still have one more trick up their sleeve.

Arsenal are still in the market for a new attacking midfielder or left winger, and a few exciting players have been linked.

Rodrygo has been linked to Arsenal, while Rafael Leao remains on Arsenal’s radar.

Eberechi Eze has been linked to Arsenal too, and according to Ben Jacobs, speaking on Last Word on Spurs, the player does indeed have his heart set on a move to the Emirates.

Eberechi Eze has his heart set on joining Arsenal

Jacobs shared what he knows about Eze after being asked about his links to Tottenham.

The journalist says Eze has his heart set on a move to Arsenal, claiming that while Tottenham are keen, he’s not an active target.

“Yeah I think Eberechi Eze, to an extent, does have his heart set on Arsenal,” Jacobs said.

“Players don’t always get their number one destination, but the point here is that Tottenham sources have said for three weeks that they’re not moving on Eze, but they appreciate him. It’s on the list, but it’s not active.”

Arsenal see Eberechi Eze as ‘perfect’

Eze wants to join Arsenal, and Arsenal also want to sign Eze.

Indeed, the feeling is very much mutual in this case, and according to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal see Eze as a ‘perfect’ signing.

“But the top target now is going to be Eberechi Eze because they are in contact with his agents. They spoke to the players several times, players camp several times, and Eze is very tempted by this opportunity. They still didn’t speak to Crystal Palace, so let’s see how this conversation will go in August,” Romano said.

“We all know how complicated it is to negotiate with Palace. There is a release close, so it’s not going to be an easy one at all. But Arsenal will try.”

“I think Arsenal will try, because they like the player. He’s considered the perfect player to add to their squad. Don’t forget that they also extended the contract of Ethan Nwaneri and it was not easy at all.”

Unfortunately in football, transfers aren’t as easy as they sometimes appear to be on paper, and there’s no guarantee that Eze will ultimately end up becoming an Arsenal player this summer.
