The Gunners are believed to be among several Premier League clubs showing interest in the 26-year-old England international, alongside Newcastle United, who may need reinforcements in midfield after the season.
Despite holding initial discussions, Arsenal have yet to present an offer for Eze and are currently focused on other priority signings.
Eze is under contract at Selhurst Park until June 2027 and is believed to have a release clause worth £60m, which will become active in the upcoming transfer window.

According to Tavolieri, Arsenal view Eze as an opportunity to bolster Mikel Arteta’s squad next season, although their current focus is on strengthening other areas.
The Gunners are believed to be targeting Viktor Gyokeres, Nico Williams and Martin Zubimendi, with sporting director Andrea Berta particularly keen on the latter.
Eze, praised as a ‘superstar’, has been a key player for Crystal Palace this season, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.
He assisted both goals in Palace’s 2-1 win at Brighton last weekend, taking his Premier League tally to eight and helping the Eagles extend their five-game unbeaten run.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Eze ranks joint-fifth in Premier League assists this season, behind Mohamed Salah, Mikkel Damsgaard, Antonee Robinson and Bukayo Saka.
Eze’s arrival would bring versatility to the Emirates this summer, as the 26-year-old is able to operate both as a No. 10 and on the left wing.
Arsenal are on course to finish second in the Premier League for a third straight season, currently sitting 11 points behind leaders Liverpool with just seven games remaining.
