Arsenal’s efforts to capture Eberechi Eze might have been greatly aided by Al Ahli’s completion of the Stuttgart signing of Enzo Millot. Millot has agreed to a three-year contract with the Saudi Pro League team, as both Al Ahli and the Bundesliga team confirmed on Saturday.
According to local media, Al Ahli spent £25.9 million (€30 million) for the 23-year-old offensive midfielder, although neither club has disclosed the deal’s exact financial terms.
Stuttgart needs a successor after his departure, and earlier this week, Standard Sport revealed that they had discussed a deal with Arsenal for Fabio Vieira, who might permanently leave Emirates Stadium.
According to numerous reports, after the Gunners sell the Portuguese playmaker, they will try to sign Eze. The Crystal Palace player is still a target for Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta has stated that even though the team spent about £200 million this summer, they are still open to making other acquisitions.
Eberechi Eze has emerged as a midfield target for the Gunners
This summer, Arsenal has already spent close to £200 million on six new players to fill in the deficiencies on the field. Andrea Berta started by acquiring Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea.
Transfermarkt estimates that the quartet’s collective market value is €78 million (£67.6 million). If Leandro Trossard receives a high-value offer and Reiss Nelson pushes to leave, Arsenal may be able to generate more than £100 million this summer through player sales.
Funding for a late bid for Eberechi Eze should come from player sales proceeds. An outstanding addition to Arteta’s team would be the Crystal Palace talisman, who has been strongly linked to a move to Arsenal this summer.
Eze is a great transition player with a great passing range who can also take down low-block opponents. Being a solid decision maker, the 27-year-old is also not scared to take on his fullback.
Eze would ultimately restore equilibrium to the front line, giving the Gunners a different path to goal. It’s past time for Arsenal to show some support for the Hale End graduate, Bukayo Saka, who has been helping out a lot lately.
