Arsenal have been advised to swoop for the transfer of Eberechi Eze as he’s surely going to be leaving Crystal Palace soon.
Writing in his latest exclusive CaughtOffside column, Charles Watts praised Eze and urged Arsenal to sign the Palace star after his superb performances this season.

It’s hard to imagine the Eagles will be able to hold on to Eze for much longer, and Watts believes it’s clear he’s going to be on the move soon.

“You can see that he’s ready to take that next step in his career now. He’s going to move soon, even the most ardent Palace fan will know that is the case.
