Eberechi Eze linked with Arsenal hijack bid as summer window closes

Eberechi Eze is the subject of a reported Arsenal hijack attempt in the final 24 hours of the summer transfer window as of 01 Sep 2026. The Gunners are said to be preparing a late offer to disrupt Crystal Palace’s valuation of the England international winger, who has been a key figure in their attacking setup since joining from Queens Park Rangers in 2020.

Is Arsenal preparing a last-minute bid for Eberechi Eze?

Reports from Pain in the Arsenal suggest Arsenal have identified Eberechi Eze as a potential target to bolster their wide options ahead of the new season. The club’s interest is described as conditional, with no formal bid submitted yet, but sources indicate they are monitoring the situation closely as the window nears its close. Crystal Palace have consistently maintained that Eze is not for sale, having turned down multiple approaches earlier in the summer.

What is Crystal Palace’s stance on selling Eberechi Eze?

Palace have made it clear they intend to keep Eberechi Eze beyond the September 1 deadline, viewing him as integral to their tactical plans under manager Oliver Glasner. The club rejected a £40m offer from West Ham in July and have since held firm despite continued interest from several Premier League sides. Eze, who turned 26 in June, has two years remaining on his current contract and is understood to be focused on delivering a strong start to the 2026/27 campaign.

How has Eberechi Eze performed in recent months?

Eberechi Eze featured in Palace’s opening two Premier League fixtures, providing one assist and completing 85% of his passes across 180 minutes of play. His performances have drawn praise for his dribbling and progression, with Opta crediting him with creating the third-highest number of chances among Palace attackers in the first month of the season. He remains a regular starter and is expected to play a central role in the team’s push for a top-half finish.

  • Eberechi Eze has made 120 appearances for Crystal Palace since joining in 2020
  • He scored 8 goals and provided 12 assists in the 2025/26 Premier League season
  • His current contract runs until June 2028 with an option for a further year
  • Arsenal’s interest remains speculative with no official bid lodged as of 01 Sep 2026

Eberechi Eze continues to train with Crystal Palace ahead of their next fixture against Brighton on 14 Sep 2026, with no indication that a transfer request has been submitted. Any move would require a significant increase in valuation from the club’s current stance, making an Arsenal hijack unlikely but not impossible in the dying hours of the window.
