EBERECHI EZE TO NEWCASTLE?! EDDIE HOWE TARGETS £60M ENGLAND STAR AS SANDRO TONALI REPLACEMENT BUT FACES ARSENAL COMPETITION
Newcastle United are reportedly preparing a summer swoop for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, as manager Eddie Howe looks to bolster his midfield options following Sandro Tonali’s long-term suspension.
Why Newcastle Want Eze
The Magpies see Eze as a dynamic replacement for Tonali, offering creativity, flair, and Premier League experience. With 10 goals and multiple standout performances this season, the 25-year-old has become one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in England.
Versatility: Can operate centrally or out wide
Ball progression: Exceptional dribbler and chance creator
Homegrown talent: Boosts squad registration quotas
Arsenal Also in the Race
Newcastle face strong competition from Arsenal, who are also long-time admirers of Eze. Mikel Arteta is said to be a big fan of his technical skill and sees him as a perfect fit for the Gunners' fluid attacking system.
Palace's Stance
Crystal Palace are reluctant to lose one of their star players but could be tempted to sell if an offer around £60 million arrives. Eze signed a new deal in November, which runs until 2027, giving the club leverage in negotiations.
What Happens Next?
Newcastle are expected to step up talks in the coming weeks, but much could depend on:
Champions League qualification
Arsenal’s transfer priorities
Eze’s desire to leave Selhurst Park
If the Magpies make a firm move, a bidding war could break out, with both clubs vying for one of England’s brightest talents.
