3. Eberechi Eze

Eberechi Eze had a mixed season last year after returning from his injury, but his ten goals and four assists have earned him a call-up to the England squad for the first time and helped Palace remain in the Premier League.

Eze turns 25 next month and has taken to the left-eight position with ease, with his incredible first touch, carrying and shooting ability making him a real outlet for Palace this season.

With his technical qualities, there is no doubt he would thrive in tight spaces for Arsenal, and his cushioned touch makes him an option to receive in any situation, and he has a supreme calmness that only top players have.

The worry with him is the defensive side of the game. While he is good, he does not have the positional understanding of Granit Xhaka, which could lead to Arsenal developing one side of the game, but dropping off on the other.

All three would be options for Arsenal to consider, but don’t rule out several twists and turns on the Mason Mount deal. United still have ownership issues, and that could complicate any deal.
