As reported by BBC Sport's senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel last week, Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze is on Arsenal's list of summer transfer targets. The England international, 27, has release clause of £60m, plus £8m in potential add-ons, in his contract, which has two years to run.

Arsenal have it in their budget to make two massive signings and a number of small purchases like Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard. With Martin Zubimendi and a new striker – very likely to be Viktor Gyokeres – their marquee signings, Mikel Arteta will need to sell off some players first before he can think about Eze.
