Arsenal, the “world-class” star after Ez, is in negotiations

During the off-season, Arsenal endured a successful summer window under Mikel Arteta – but they are about to reach a new level with Eberechi Eze’s coming soon.
It seems the Crystal Palace star will travel to north London, but joined rival Tottenham Hotspur after advancing in negotiations to reach a deal.
However, the Gunner took advantage of the slow situation and fell into a better position, making players prefer to switch to Emirates.
Eze was a teenage Arsenal fan who was found on the club’s training ground to complete his medical work, which could only be completed with a formal announcement until the deal was completed.
Despite spending about £67.5 million on the 27-year-old’s signature, the hierarchy could be granted to the management manager to add funds to complete other days at the end of the summer window.
Arsenal targets more transfers after Eze
Antoine Semenyo has been a long-term target for Arsenal, having previously landed on radar this summer but has reappeared in conversations in north London.
Any deal will be an expensive deal that may be re-examined in the near future, with Garner signing a new deal in Bournemouth until the summer of 2030.
However, according to a Spanish media outlet, he is not the only offensive player at the moment, and Real Madrid star Rodrygo is a serious target for the Gunners.
They claim the 24-year-old agent will hold talks with Arteta’s side to move to the Premier League by the September 1 deadline.
It also noted that permanent or temporary transfers can be explored, and that the Brazilian is not part of boss Xabi Alonso’s 2025/26 sports plan.
Why Arsenal’s latest target causes gyokeres to shoot
Earlier in the summer, Arsenal was thrilled after the hierarchy finally secured new numbers in the form of Swedish International Victor Gilk (Sporting CP).
Arteta is surrounded by a staggering £64m for the 27-year-old’s signature, and the deal seems like a great business given his 102 appearances in Portugal.
But, to say the least, he was satisfied with Manchester United’s debut, but it could be expected due to his lack of experience in the top flights in England.
He was replaced for only one hour, got a count of 22 touches and completed only four passes – while also winning 21% of the games he played at Old Trafford.
Gyokeres undoubtedly takes time to live in the UAE, but with the Rodrigo deal completed in the next few days, any process can certainly be accelerated.
Although the Brazilian is not popular in Madrid, it may prove to be a great signing for the Gunners – that is, he can copy the numbers from the 2024/25 campaign.
Marked as “world-class” by analyst Ben Mattinson, Rodrygo can operate on the flanks with truly top skills and can be seen providing endless opportunities for Gyokerers.
In Laliga last season, he ranked 94th percentile (86%) in the completion (while, with a total of 2.3 key passes per 90 times – apparently able to thrive when needed.
Such numbers would put him in Arteta’s current ownership-based system, while also having creative efforts to provide the Swedes with a chance to score a goal.

In addition to his ability to pick teammates, Rodrygo also ranked 98th percentile, entering the last third of 90 goals (4.1), and was able to move ahead before picking the killer’s pass.
After every 90 and 3.1 passes were completed in 2.3 minutes of every 90 box, further talent was reflected – further emphasizing the talent he has in the field of progress.
Whether the transaction is a loan or permanent, it is usually not a quality participant that can be transferred – both Arteta and Co need to seize such an opportunity with both hands.
If he could transfer his skills to England, it was undoubtedly one of the best moves to make this window make – especially if he could allow the Ginoks, a big signature, to find the back of the net unanimously.
