Arsenal Transfer News: Ebrech Eze s future turns, Arsenal reaches an agreement

4:06pm, 18 August 2025Football

Arsenal plans to start their Premier League campaign on Sunday, challenging Manchester United away, but Mikel Arteta hopes to add some reinforcements before the window closes.

Crystal Palace's Ebrech Eze is Arsenal's goal

It's time for the transfer negotiations to end. Arsenal's 2025-26 Premier League season will begin on Sunday, heading to Old Trafford against Manchester United.

However, the beginning of the new season does not mean that Arsenal's transfer operation ends. In fact, things may start to heat up after Victor Giocres signed up for a few relatively calm weeks.

The arrival of the Swedish striker has brought Arsenal's summer spending to £195 million, and Mikel Arteta hopes to form a team that will ultimately win the Premier League title.

But it's not just about bringing in new players. To balance Arsenal’s spending, it will be necessary to sell players, with several players expected to leave.

Ebrech Eze is close to transfer Tottenham Hotspur

Ezer will miss the opening game of Crystal Palace. Ebrech Eze is not expected to participate in the first game of Crystal Palace this season, as he is about to transfer to North London, but not Arsenal. Tottenham Hotspur stood out in the signing of the England international, with Tottenham star James Madison suffering a serious knee injury in the preseason.

According to media reports, 27-year-old Eze is willing to join Tottenham Hotspur because he seeks Champions League football. Sources say the Crystal Palace midfielder is unlikely to play in a match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Fenebache reached an agreement on Zinchenko

Arsenal allegedly agreed to release, and Oleksander Zinchenko may transfer to Fenerbache. The 28-year-old Ukrainian player is considered willing to leave Arsenal as he enters his final year of contract.

Turkish media reported that Fenerbahce had been in talks with Arsenal for a week, and their sporting director Devin Ozek met with Arsenal's Andrea Beta to discuss the defender's transfer terms. The two teams are believed to have reached an agreement to loan the defender for a loan of €3 million (£2.6 million) and can buy out at the end of the season for €10 million (£8.6 million).

Now all eyes are focused on Zinchenko, as he is deciding his next move.

De Jong Plan

At the same time, Arsenal is reportedly paying attention to Barcelona's Frankie De Jong, hoping to sign him as a free agent next summer. Although the 28-year-old midfielder said he wanted to stay in Barcelona, his current contract expires in June 2026 and he has not renewed his contract with the club as the club is currently facing financial difficulties.

Spanish media reported that Arsenal is planning to introduce De Jong. Manager Mikel Arteta reportedly sees the Dutch national team as an ideal complement to his midfield and believes his experience will be a significant asset.
