Arsenal are pushing to sign Eberechi Eze this summer, with talks already being held over a potential move for the England international.
The 27-year-old has been an impressive force in the Premier League in recent seasons, showing plenty of quality in his time with Crystal Palace.
With the Gunners looking to bolster their own ranks after a campaign without many goals, Eberechi Eze could be the answer.
With the former Hale End Academy star being a versatile option, there is uncertainty as to where he could play for Arsenal.
The latest move from Andrea Berta may well have answered that question in a huge shake-up for the forward line.
Eberechi Eze’s Arsenal position may be revealed by Ethan Nwaneri’s contract revelation
While Arsenal are interested in Eberechi Eze this summer, they face a dilemma when it comes to the competition within their ranks.
The addition of the Crystal Palace star may cause problems for Ethan Nwaneri, who faces stronger competition for minutes within the team.
Despite that, Nwaneri is set to sign a new contract at Arsenal, which will be a five-year deal that offers plenty of security for the future.
With the 18-year-old yet to land a guaranteed position, reports have stated that he will be handed a more central role within the team, featuring as a number ten more often.
That may well have a knock-on effect on Eze, who has featured as an attacking playmaker during his career.
The forward would perhaps be more likely to feature as a left-winger or as a left-sided midfielder, changing up the options available to Mikel Arteta.
With that idea in mind, along with Berta’s decision to renew Nwaneri, it could shake up the squad yet again for this season.
Arsenal’s attacking options are key for the future
Arsenal have been well-known for their attacking talent in years gone by, but the past season has seen some familiar struggles arise for Arteta.
The Gunners ran into a repeated problem with draws in matches against lower sides, struggling to score against lower blocks.
It’s clear that the manager is now being backed in the market to help solve that, with the signing of Noni Madueke likely to be followed by Viktor Gyokeres.
Add Eberechi Eze into the mix, and Arsenal have plenty of different ways to score goals in the biggest matches possible.
That is what could power them on to win a trophy this coming season.
