Arsenal have moved decisively in the transfer market, with David Ornstein of The Athletic reporting that the club have reached an agreement in principle to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. The deal is valued in the region of the expired £68 million release clause and matches the level Tottenham Hotspur were prepared to pay.

Arsenal are moving quickly to bring in a high-quality alternative to Kai Havertz in wake of his knee injury, according to David Ornstein. Kai Havertz is set for a spell on the sidelines, which has forced Arsenal back into the market in order to find an alternative option.
