Thomas Frank’s side are long-time admirers of Eze and find themselves in desperate need of help in attacking midfield after losing James Maddison to an ACL injury which is likely to keep him sidelined for the majority of the 2025–26 campaign.

Eze’s release clause is understood to be around £68million, but Arsenal have been hesitant to meet this fee and would ideally like to do a deal below that sum.
