Besides outgoings, I think the holdup with Eze is that he will so obviously displace Ødegaard from the starting XI, and Arteta is preparing himself and the squad for that. He's not taking Rice's spot, and he's not a winger. Arteta "pushing hard" for him (according ot HandofArsenal) gives me genuine hope that the Ødegaard grace period is coming to an end.
Eze's entire stint at Palace has been as a LONE 10 sitting just behind Mateta and the wingers. It makes no sense to turn him into another shitty box-to-box experiment or sign him as "depth" (he will demand game time). He's coming here to be the central creative force. And another key point: Zubimendi loves playing in a double pivot, and Rice had his finest moments here when paired with Partey at the base, while still being allowed to make those monster runs forward.
All makes me think we might see something like picrel by November/December. Also, Rice will finally have the armband and we can stop pretending he isn't already our leader. Come on Artetaberta. It's so damn obvious. Get it done.
