Exclusive: Arsenal interested in Ebelechi Eze but not knowing how it corresponds to their team

Arsenal’s interest in Ebelechi Eze remains authentic – but internal growth on the question of whether the star of Crystal Palace corresponds to their tactical puzzle has threatened to block any potential decision.

The Gunners have explored the details of the Liberation clause of Eze and have weighed an offer in recent weeks. The 27 -year -old was discreetly optimistic, telling these relatives that he thought that a stint at the Emirates was at hand this summer.

However, despite the buzz, this decision has not materialized – and now hesitation is starting to make sense.

Arsenal’s recruitment team is heard to admire the technical quality and versatility of Eze, but we have the feeling that it is best suited to a central attack role. And this space is already well covered in the Mikel Arteta team.

The concern is to create a tactical dilemma, because Arsenal does not know if they can integrate another player n ° 10 into their team.

A well -placed source described how Arsenal did its homework on Eze and execute the figures, but in the end, they are still not quite sure if they are what they need at the moment.

A decision will have to be made soon, but it is this uncertainty that made the process slide and left the door ajar for other clubs.

Crystal Palace, aware of the indecision of Arsenal, worked to attract Chelsea and Tottenham in the mixture in the hope of generating a competition for their starry man.

Eze is attached to Palace for the moment, but the presence of a liberation clause of 68 million pounds sterling gives the best clubs a clear path if they choose to take it.

He did not actively push an outing – but he is ready, if the right club advances.

That Arsenal decides to move or move away comes down to a key choice to know if they can really make room for another n ° 10.

If they decide to go, Eze is ready to register.

Otherwise, someone else could grasp it – and Arsenal could be left by looking at a player whom he admires to light elsewhere.
