Eberechi Eze is set to become Arsenal’s third-highest transfer in their history.
The 27-year-old will undergo his medicals today and complete a £67.5million switch from Crystal Palace this weekend.
A breakdown of the fee shows that the Gunners will pay a guaranteed £60m and £7.5m in add-ons.
Arsenal have successfully hijacked Tottenham’s move for the player after matching their offer on Wednesday.
However, they have paid more for Declan Rice (£105m) to take him from West Ham in the summer of 2023.
Nicolas Pepe also cost Arsenal (£72m) when they signed him from Lille.
The top five most expensive signings are completed by Kai Havertz (£65m) and Viktor Gyokeres (£63.5m), who were signed from Chelsea and Sporting CP, respectively.
