Arsenal strike "full agreement" on personal terms with "gifted" £68m star
da spicy bet: Arsenal have now struck a full agreement on personal terms with a “gifted” forward, who is keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium, according to a report.
Berta enjoying impressive first transfer window
da apostaganha: In his first transfer window since taking over as sporting director, it would be fair to say that Andrea Berta has done a stellar job, having been given the licence to splash the cash by the board.
Berta has strengthened the squad in a number of key areas, perhaps most importantly sealing a deal for a new striker, having gotten a deal for Viktor Gyokeres over the line last week.

In a promising new update, Mikel Arteta also seemed to indicate that William Saliba is likely to be willing to sign a new contract, saying: “Obviously, it’s our negotiations and things that have to take time and process and [we have to] be on top of them.
“But I’m quite confident that William is very happy here and that’s the place that he wants to be.”
As such, things are certainly looking up for the Gunners, and they have now made progress in their pursuit of yet another new signing.
That is according to Sports Zone, who recently took to X to state that Arsenal have now struck a “full agreement” on personal terms with Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.

Arsenal are now focusing their efforts on signing a playmaker after the arrival of Viktor Gyokeres.
Eze has been “keen on a move” to the Emirates Stadium for a few weeks, and the north Londoners are now considering triggering the £68m release clause in his contract with the Eagles.
However, they could test the waters with a bid of a different nature first, with it recently being revealed they have now reached an agreement in principle with the forward’s current employers.
"Gifted" Eze could be final piece of the jigsaw
As previously highlighted, Arteta’s side have already had a fantastic summer transfer window, and the Crystal Palace star could be the final piece of the jigsaw, having impressed in the Premier League for quite some time.
Once lauded as a “gifted” player by Statman Dave, the Palace star enjoyed a very impressive 2024-25 campaign, picking up 14 goals and 11 assists in all competitions, and his versatility could also be of great use to Arteta.
It would be fair to say Martin Odegaard didn’t enjoy the best of campaigns last season, scoring just three Premier League goals, and the England international would be able to fill in at attacking midfield when required, while he is also capable of playing on the wing.
Eze could be an exciting signing for Arsenal, and having struck an agreement on personal terms, they should look to get a deal over the line as quickly as possible, before any rival suitors intensify their interest.
