Crystal Palace will not accept anything less than Eberechi Eze’s release clause, according to Football Insider. Arsenal are interested in signing Eze in the summer transfer window and are aware that the England international attacking midfielder has a release clause of £68 million in his contract.
Former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers chief scout Mick Brown has told Football Insider: “Arsenal’s interest in Eze isn’t a surprise.
“As we’ve said before, he’s a very talented player and any team would love to have somebody of his quality because he can be excellent.
“It’s difficult to know what Arsenal are going to do and where they’re going to look.
“If they want Eze as a left-winger, they should forget about it because that isn’t his position.
“But if they are going to sign Eze, they’ll have to make the decision soon.
“Palace aren’t going to accept less than his release clause, everybody knows that, so it should be a case of they either pay it or they don’t.
“I think Arsenal are looking at a few targets and they need to decide which one they want.
“That will come down to looking at their scouts reports and judging the value for money.
“If any team wants Eze, they’ll have to pay the asking price, and if they don’t they’ll miss out.
“From a Palace point of view, they’ll be happy to keep him if they don’t cough up the money, and I’m sure they’ll have plans in case he does leave.”
