Textor sold his shares to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson for £190m to help Palace navigate their European woes, but the issue still hasn't been resolved. The club is set to present their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, hoping to regain their spot in the Europa League.
One of the main reasons Palace wants to stay in the Europa League is to keep their star player, Eberechi Eze, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal. The England international has been in top form, scoring crucial goals, including the winner against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
Arsenal has been interested in signing Eze, but they haven't made a formal bid yet, and they're unwilling to match Palace's £68m release clause. However, the transfer window is still open, giving Arsenal time to negotiate a deal.
Eze's versatility is one of his key strengths, allowing him to play in various attacking or midfield positions. He could easily fill in for injured or tired players like Bukayo Saka or Martin Odegaard, and his ability to dictate play from anywhere on the pitch is a valuable asset.
Eze's goal-scoring and assist record is impressive, with 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions last season. His durability and ability to play a high number of minutes are also notable, making him a worthwhile purchase for any team.
Arteta's Arsenal side needs a player who can create chances and move the attack forward, and Eze's free-spirited playstyle could be an excellent fit. However, the decision ultimately rests with Eze, and if he decides to leave Palace, the club will have to let him go.
The transfer saga continues, with Palace and Arsenal locked in a battle for Eze's services. Will the Gunners be able to secure his signature? Only time will tell.
