Arsenal have signed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and midfielder Martin Zubimendi this summer as they aim to sign attacking reinforcements; Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Rodrygo and Viktor Gyokeres are transfer targets for Mikel Artetas side;

Eze has a release clause of £68million, with Palace determined to extract the full amount before sanctioning his exit. But Arsenal will be aiming to knock a lump sum off the transfer fee if they can get the Eagles to agree to a swap deal before the summer transfer window closes.

Arsenal are working on a payment structure for a bid that could allow them to sign Eberechi Eze without a substantial sale this summer. Mikel Arteta went into the window with a budget for Martin Zubimendi and a forward - currently expected to be Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres - as well as one or two less expensive signings like Brentford's Christian Norgaard,
