THE BIGGER PICTURE
This comes from a report by Mirror, who claim Parish will not entertain offers below Eze's £67.5 million (€79m/$92m) release clause. Head coach Mikel Arteta is keen on overseeing a major overhaul in attack, having already secured a £52m deal for Noni Madueke from Chelsea. Eze enjoyed his best season to date, scoring 14 goals and delivering 11 assists in 43 games while also helping the Eagles win the FA Cup and is sure to add a new dimension to the Gunners' forward line.
