Bukayo Saka sparks speculation about Arsenal signing Eberechi Eze with Instagram post

Bukayo Saka seems to have hinted at Arsenal's interest in signing Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze. 

On August 2, 2025, Saka posted an Instagram story featuring a promotional image of Eze at a New Balance store in London. This move has sparked speculation among fans and media outlets, suggesting that Saka might be dropping a hint about Eze's potential transfer to Arsenal.

Arsenal has been linked to Eze, with the club reportedly discussing personal terms and negotiating a fee with Crystal Palace. Eze's release clause of £68 million expired on August 2, 2025, but Arsenal is believed to be offering £52 million, with £30 million upfront and £22 million in installments. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder has been an impressive player for Palace, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists in all competitions last season.

Both Saka and Eze wear New Balance boots, which might explain why Eze's picture was featured in the store. The two players have a connection through their national team, having played together for England seven times. Eze's versatility and creativity on the field could be an asset for Arsenal, potentially solving attacking woes and easing pressure on Saka and other players.
