Eberechi Eze, a target for Arsenal and Manchester United, has reportedly decided to commit his future to Crystal Palace.
Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Manchester United are keen on signing Eberechi Eze. But a report from 90min has claimed that the 25-year-old is now set to sign a new contract with Crystal Palace.
The development will come as a major blow for Arsenal and Manchester United, who need to add more quality to their attacking unit. The player has been linked with Manchester City as well. The 25-year-old has established himself as a key performer for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and he would have certainly improved the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United going forward.
Arsenal have not been able to rotate players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli because of the lack of quality options. Eze would have been a top-class acquisition for them. The 25-year-old is a proven performer in the Premier League and could have made an immediate impact at Arsenal if he joined the club.
The winger has now chosen to commit his long-term future to Crystal Palace, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal and Manchester United decide to try their luck for him at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need to add more quality in the wide areas as well. Big-money signings Jadon Sancho and Antony have been largely underwhelming, and the Red Devils need someone who will add creativity and flair to their attack.
The opportunity to play for clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United can be hard to turn down for any player, and the 25-year-old could be tempted to join the two English clubs if there is a concrete proposal on the table.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal and Manchester United decide to try their luck at the end of the season with a proposal to sign the 25-year-old. It is fair to assume that Crystal Palace will demand the premium for him once the new contract is finalised. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months.
