Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal are not just swooping for Eze because of Havertz’s knee injury. References how after the Bilbao game earlier this month he said that Arsenal were still actively looking at options.

Arteta on Arsenal's transfer business this summer:. “I think we are showing the ambition that we want to do, that we are here to win major trophies, to keep evolving and improving every single year.”.

Arteta has finished his presser. Team news update:. Havertz definitely out tomorrow, but still not sure full extent of injury. Norgaard will be out for another week or so. Ben White a doubt. Timber’s load is being managed, but doesn’t sound like any serious issue.

Eberechi Eze's move to Arsenal set to be finalised over the weekend - so not in time for him to make his debut against Leeds tomorrow. Fee set at £60m plus £7.5m in add-ons. Personal terms all agreed, too.

Arteta is asked: "Best penalty taker?". Gave the answer: "Gyokeres.". New penalty taker for Arsenal this season?.

Think off the left flank makes sense, but as a No8 - alongside Odegaard - could be exciting for games against teams that sit deep. False nine would be an experiment but, if Havertz is out, could be quite fun to see Arsenal with a No9 like Eze who has freedom to move around.

Left-back, arguably, been the most key position in Arteta's teams. Tierney in the 2020 FA Cup side, then Zinchenko for the next two seasons. Having MLS and Calafiori as two options - week in, week out - would be huge for Arsenal.

Given the way he has looked to overlap from left-back, Riccardo Calafiori could be one of the biggest beneficiaries from Eberechi Eze joining Arsenal. Calafiori has started the season well, thanks largely to the work he put in during June. Piece here:.

As broken by @David_Ornstein, Arsenal are stepping up a move for Eze after Havertz’s injury. Would be a huge signing. More on @standardsport shortly.
