Chelsea given green light to beat Arsenal to Eberechi Eze deal: report
Chelsea's crazy transfer strategy is set to continue, this time at the hands of Arsenal

Chelsea enjoyed a good 2024/25 season.
Enzo Maresca lead them back to the Champions League, won the Europa Conference League and guided them to a Club World Cup final win against PSG.
There's a positive mood surrounding the club currently, even despite the significant overhaul each transfer window seems to bring.
They've continued the scattergun transfer approach and already added a significant firepower to their team, with Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap all moving to west London this summer.
It's hard to pick a weakness in the squad, give just how many options Chelsea have at their disposal, yet they are still looking to strengthen the squad.
The latest player to be linked with the Blues is Arsenal target Eberechi Eze, with TEAMtalk suggesting the world champions have opened talks with the 26-year-old.
They view Eze, who is recognised in FourFourTwo's list of the best attacking midfielders in the world, as a cost effective alternative to Morgan Rogers, who they estimate would cost £90 million to sign from Aston Villa.

Eze has a release clause of £68 million, that Chelsea feel is a more realistic option for them this summer.
If they were to be successful in signing Eze, it would see them swoop in ahead of Arsenal, who have been trying to sign the England international for several weeks. Arsenal's focus switched to signing Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera, leaving Chelsea a clear path at Eze, should they wish to take it.
Whilst it would be exciting to see Eze lining up alongside some of the stars in Chelsea's team, he would probably play second fiddle to several players across the attacking positions.
With it being a World Cup year, more minutes and more importance at Crystal Palace, or Arsenal, should they come back in and try and sign him, may appeal to Eze more.
Transfermarkt currently value Eze at €55 million.
