Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has finally opened up on why the club moved quickly to secure the signature of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
The Gunners announced the arrival of the England international on Saturday in a blockbuster £67.5 million transfer deal, handing him the prestigious No.10 shirt at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking through the club’s official website, Arteta was full of praise for his new signing, describing the 27-year-old midfielder as a player with the qualities Arsenal have been searching for.
“Eberechi is a powerful and exciting player who’ll give Arsenal a new dimension in our attacking game,” the Spaniard said.
He didn’t stop there. Arteta also highlighted Eze’s mentality and hunger for success, insisting that his character fits perfectly into the winning culture Arsenal are trying to build:
“His journey, his mentality, and his ambition are exactly what we want in our team.”
Omo, Arsenal fans are already buzzing online, celebrating not just the signing but the fact that Eze had been heavily linked with a move to North London rivals Tottenham before the Gunners swooped in. This transfer feels like a double victory — strengthening Arteta’s squad while leaving Spurs heartbroken.
The signing of Eze also takes Arsenal’s summer spending to a jaw-dropping level, with the club showing clear intent to compete strongly on all fronts this season.
For many supporters, Eze’s creativity, dribbling flair, and ability to unlock defenses could be the missing ingredient Arsenal need to turn dominance into silverware.
Omo, with the No.10 shirt on his back and Arteta’s full backing, all eyes will be on Eze to deliver the magic at the Emirates. This season go hot!
