Arsenal and Crystal Palace have been involved in recent club-to-club talks over the transfer of Eberechi Eze. The Gunners have been heavily active in the market this summer and have already spent close to £200million on six new players.

Eberechi Eze ’s £68million release clause at Crystal Palace expires on August 15. Standard Sport understands the release clause remains active until that date, when the Premier League season begins with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth.

Eberechi Eze is Arsenal's next attacking target after a summer which has already seen the Gunners revamp their forward line.
