Arsenal are likely to focus on signing Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze following an agreement to land Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres.

The Gunners have been working on a deal for Gyokeres over the past few weeks and they are expected to confirm an agreement pretty soon.

Once that happens, the focus could turn to signing another attacker and reports claim that Eze is one of the top names on the club’s wishlist.

The Gunners have already held talks with the agents of the 27-year-old, who has a release clause worth £68 million in his current deal at Palace.

The clause is payable in three instalments of £20m plus £8m in add-ons, but Arsenal are likely to push for a reduced package for the versatile ace.

Eze is primarily an attacking midfielder, but he can comfortably play on the left wing. He is also capable of operating in the centre of the park.

His versatility could be a big reason behind Arsenal‘s pursuit.
