Arsenal are on a spending spree in this summer transfer window as they aim to bolster their roster in quality and also in depth.
The Gunners are showing no signs of slowing down as they are reportedly pursuing two players: Viktor Gyokeres and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.
After finishing second in the last three Premier League campaigns, Mikel Arteta is desperate to invest big on the transfer market to fight with contenders like Manchester City and Liverpool.
The Gunners have already announced the arrival of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and are now working on securing Eze and Gyokeres.
The Crystal Palace star, who turned 27 last week, is open to leaving the club this summer as he wants to take the next step in his career.
As per recent reports on Sun Sport, Arsenal are open to offering a player in pursuit of Eze, who is valued at £68m ($90m) by Palace.

Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is keen on wrapping up the deal and will try to convince Palace, who might be interested in a defender as part of the swap deal.
The Eagles may lose their captain, Marc Guehi, who is wanted by Liverpool and Newcastle United. So they are on the lookout for a centre-back this summer.
Where could Eberechi Eze end up this summer?
Known for his creativity, technical brilliance and versatility, Eze has attracted interest from Premier League clubs and also from abroad.
Apart from Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and even Bayern Munich have monitored the England international.
However, Arsenal continue to be the front runners for the 27-year-old as they aim to bolster their attacking options.
The Gunners are also not open to paying the £68m release clause in full. They are hoping to pay the sum in three instalments.
