Arsenal want to sign Eberechi Eze | Jorge Mendes helping us sign Viktor Gyökeres

People deluded, I'm back again. I hope you're all doing well and safe. I know people were tired of transfer news and rumours and what not, and we want to see Arsenal sign players. And again, I don't know what Mikel, Arteta and Edu are planning, but I do hope and I'm pretty sure that, you know, this time in a month's time by, you know, July the 23rd, we would have signed someone. As to whether they're good enough, someone we wanted, who knows. As you lot know, 99.9% of these transfer rumours are BS. Obviously, the journalists are scrambling for content and they know they can play on football fans, not just Arsenal fans' heartstrings and link us with a number of players, some more realistic than others. But it does provide good talking points. If you guys will give me a second, I'll share my screen and we'll go over this. Apparently, Mendes is helping us to sign Llores, we're interested in Eze and there's a couple of other things, you know, I'm quite bored of talking about Nico Williams. We love him, but we can have a quick overview of that. We've actually also been linked with Kimmich again, people, which again, as I said, it's easy to link us with these players. Now, if I share my screen, yep, it's finally done it. You know, I don't know if the journalists or the ITKs know what they're speaking about, but to be fair to Team News and Tix, I think that's a great name actually, he does seem to be very accurate. I'm in no way endorsing, I don't know who he knows or doesn't know. I always say until we see footballers, in Arsenal's case, being pictured around the training ground, pictured at the Emirates holding scarves, saying that they used to grow up watching Thierry Henry, Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Dennis Bergkamp, the list goes on, who knows. Now, it would whet the appetite seeing Eze sign for Arsenal, returning home once a Gooner, always a Gooner, come home and it's a fantastic story in which football's a funny old game of opinions. At some point, he got released by Millwall, released by Arsenal, went on trial at a number of clubs, that didn't work out, done his thing at QPR, where you saw I did a video many years on that. Crystal Palace have him, he's a Premier League household name, one of the most exciting players to watch, I believe, in the Premier League, and been capped by the country. And if and when this move happens, got to be sold for 60-odd million. We did once upon a time have Eze and Harry Kane, now everything in life happens for a reason, but you are wondering. Obviously, you can't predict stars at 10 years of age and them kind of ages there, but one has to wonder, imagine if these lot came through the academy. Anyways, moving on, Team News and Tix on his Patron page has said, I've been told by two unconnected people, Arsenal are looking at Eze. I know lots of people at the club like him. Eze has a very affordable release clause, around 60 million, but a large amount of the clause has to be paid up front. Now, whether Arsenal can pay up front, I'm not sure. And it does seem where Eze's concerned, some reports and some people say he's got a release clause, some say he's don't. If he does, then obviously you put the money down, assuming the player wants to sign for us, that helps us. If he doesn't, we have to negotiate with Crystal Palace and they're about to lose Eze to Bayern Munich. I'm sure they don't want to lose two of their attacking players, especially when they've got a new gaffer in one window. Obviously, Mark Gurrey is a defender, but he's also linked with a move away. And I'm sure if you're Crystal Palace, obviously players can make moves. With every game that Eze and Elisa and Gurrey play, the bigger clubs, respectfully to Palace, are looking at them and you can't hide them, essentially. But I think going into the summer, the club would have probably said, ideally would have loved to have kept their key players. They've got Wharton, I'm sure they want to add some more, but they probably said one of the three of Eze, Gurrey and Elisa to move on this summer. Two, it gets a bit ridiculous. So, I mean, who wouldn't want Eze? He can play on the left wing, can play as a left eight, although right footed, that tends to move to the left. The dribbling skills, great on the transition, lovely technical level, capable of just banging it from 30 yards. His short range passing, his link-up play is spot on. He's a great player, man. And obviously he's in his mid to early 20s, so he's young and impressionable with a willingness to learn that fits the remit. And he's obviously homegrown. We know Eddie and Ketya, Smith-Rowe, these players and many more, Nelson, these players are being linked with moves away. Let me know your thoughts on Eze, smash the like button. And if you don't want, I might as well make a dedicated video for Eze, as we've been doing in the last couple of weeks slash months, people. So, yeah, let me know your thoughts. But then once you start getting into the Gurreys and Eze's away from Elysee, obviously we've gone over Elysee. If you don't know, apparently he's chosen to join Bayern Munich. Great that he hasn't gone Chelsea. I did think he might go Man United one day, but it is what it is. Apparently Elysee, according to Sky Sports, now nobody knows unless you're Crystal Palace, Arsenal, or, you know, the close people within football in many realms. Us fans, we don't know. It's essentially guesswork. Now, I'm more likely to actually believe Team News and Tix, if I'm honest, than necessarily generally Sky Sports. But apparently Elysee is the only one with a release clause. So, Eze, if he were to depart, apparently if a club offers 70 million for him or upwards of that, people. So, are Arsenal going to do that? I do think, I didn't necessarily think he would be the midfield profile Mikel Arteta was keen on. I think there's a lot of transferables. I can understand why the demand of him. But yeah, people, you know, Eze will have to see in that regards. And I don't think we're signing Gurreys quality player. Great centre-half. Would love him at the club, you know, to put pressure on Saliba and Gabriel and tie into the squad. But for Gurreys, you know, that's a solid defensive partnership and a solid, you know, duo. Are you going to, you know, if you make the step up, of course, you're going to have to back yourself to break in. But do you see yourself, you know, taking Saliba's spot or Gabriel's? You might have to weigh out a bit. Where you look at Man United, who he's been linked to, if you're assuring to go play there, obviously the way Arsenal are moving, the way Man United look at this moment in time, we're in two different spaces. But that is something to consider. And Crystal Palace are going to make good money. You know, Gurreys, obviously they signed him for whatever, going to make money. Eze, they bought him for, you know, peanuts to QPR compared to 60, 70 odd million. I'm pretty sure they bought a lease for eight million quid from Reading, making mad money, really. And Wharton's just got his feet under the door at Blackburn, still being linked with Arsenal and City. So he's probably one that the clubs will watch for his if not sooner. Rashford apparently is, well, Man United are open to selling Marcus Rashford if they receive an offer. For some reason, though, you know, Arsenal have been linked with Rashford. It's easy to link Rashford with Arsenal. I've done a video on that. But, you know, it does feel like Rashford's been a bit of a debate within the Arsenal fan base. Let me know your thoughts. Would you take Marcus Rashford or not? Because some think, you know, if Mikel Arteta, as he's shown, if he waves his magic wand on Rashford, you know, we could get a player. But then it's a big risk. He's 26. Is he going to change his ways if he hasn't already? And I'm talking about fully on the pitch. Been linked with PSG and Arsenal, as you lot know. Again, Man United and Arsenal have been linked with Bologna's Joshua Zersky. They won't go away. Apparently, Rashford's determined to repair his relationship with Ten Hag. So again, that probably means that move won't happen. Keeping up the theme with Man United and Arsenal, apparently Man United, in my 29 years, yeah, way before City were spending money or Arsenal were buying Declaraz and to a degree even Chelsea with Roman Abramovich, you know, never did I think you would ever see a sentence saying Manchester United have been priced out of a player, you know, so I'm not sure. But apparently they've been priced out of a move for Dewey. Arsenal remain interested. And actually, I don't have the report to hand, but he's aggressively being linked with PSG. I would love him at the club. Don't know if that's going to get done. Once again, we're still linked with Kimmich. Apparently, we're one of five clubs interested in him. He's in the last 12 months of his deal. And it's very interesting to see what will happen with the 29-year-old. Real Madrid, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona, allegedly have been interested in him. Apparently, he's got no problem playing at Bayern Munich next season without signing an extension. It'll be very interesting to see where his future lies. Nico Williams is asking for a high salary to move to another club. Well, if you perform how you did for Spain against City, you can get paid whatever you want, in my opinion. Allegedly, George Mendes is acting as an intermediary to bring Llorens to Arsenal. The deal, according to sources, is close to being completed after negotiations advanced rapidly in recent days, and it's expected there'll be news by the end of the month. Now, one minute, Arsenal not going for a striker, then we are. Again, I don't think Arsenal are paying his release clause. You can't actually rule out him getting a new deal at Sporting Lisbon. So, in short, people, who really knows? But I would like him. This was obviously a follow-up tweet from the 21st of June, which said Arsenal are about to secure his signature for below his €100 million release clause. Apparently, we've agreed on a fixed amount of €90 million, which could rise, apologies, to €120 after add-ons based on goals, appearances, trophies, and, you know, depending on what we do in that regard, people. Once again, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool have all looked at Nico Williams. His release clause seems to fluctuate now. Ben Jacobs is saying it's 45 million people. It's viewed as good value, which I believe it is. However, his high wages make any deal difficult. To be fair, at 21, as I said, if you're announcing yourself in the footballing world the way you're playing, then I think €200 grand a week or whatever you're seeking is fair value, especially if you could tie it to a four or five-year deal. But then, you know, if he was to sign for Arsenal and he plays like that and he plays like the man we want to see within that four or five-year deal, naturally, him and his agents are going to say, yo, we need a new deal. And obviously, that has ramifications for the existing Salibas, Declan Rice, Odegaard, Sakaar, the more upper echelon kind of players within the squad, and obviously potential players to bring in. Now, it's the going rate. In theory, just like in any business, if you want the best, you have to pay the best and you have to pay the best. You have to pay for the best and you have to pay the best. It is what it is, people, really, in that regard. So, yeah, Romano has said, what I'm told, some big English clubs made contact with people close to Williams two, three or four weeks ago. He's appreciated by people at Chelsea and by people at Arsenal too. Many clubs have moved to understand the situation. And he did recently come out, I believe yesterday, and say, I signed a new deal a few weeks ago. I'm actually shocked to see that I'm linked with several clubs and speculation over my future. So, we'll have to see. Anyone taking California, you know, the Bologna man, you know, it's a shame that there's the Euros because his price tag is set to go up. Apparently, he could have been sold for around 21.3 million quid. I know he scored it on goal, but he could be a versatile defender that could do well for Arsenal. Now, Italian players, in my opinion, yes, there's exceptions to the rule. They generally stay in Italy, but Arsenal, we've shopped well in Italy before. You know, Tommy Obviously, they play for the same club. So, you'd imagine there'd been a scouting report over him. I don't think Arsenal are signing him because it seems like if we are to bring another defensive reinforcement, it's a left back. But if it was up to me, a versatile defender would be great. So, yeah, people, I would love him at the club, really. I say that about everyone. Who wouldn't want these players? So, let me know your thoughts on Eze, on potentially Jokeres and everything else we've discussed. People, don't forget to check out the rest of the content.
