Arsenal abandon their pursuit of Eberechi Eze due to asking price
Briefly

Arsenal have distanced themselves from signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace due to his high asking price of over 60 million. While Arsenal initially expressed interest, they are focusing on strengthening their left side and seek a reliable wide player due to a lack of depth in that area. Gabriel Martinelli's recent performance was underwhelming, prompting the need for more competition. Although Arsenal has signed striker Viktor Gyokeres, they continue to look for an impactful attacker on the flanks. Tottenham is also interested in Eze as the transfer window nears its end.
Eze is a tricky one. Steve Parish is asking well over 60 million, which is a difficult price. Arsenal liked the player, but that move seems to be off for now.
Arsenal are expected to focus on strengthening the left-hand side rather than pursuing someone they see primarily as a number 10. They are unlikely but not completely impossible to make a move for Eze at this point.
Arsenal need more depth in the attacking unit, and they are looking to bring in someone who can add more quality and cutting edge on the flanks.
Signing a reliable attacker would be a wise decision. Arsenal have come close to winning league titles, but they have not been able to get over the line.
