Arsenal remains connected to Crystal Palace -Vleugel player Ebereechi Eze, but Rio Ferdinand has wondered where the International of England will fit in the side of Mikel Arteta
Rio Ferdinand has doubted where and when Ebereechi Eze would play in Arsenal, while the North Londoners continue to weigh the chas of £ 68 million from the wing player of Crystal Palace.
Eze has become a leading light in Selhurst Park and played an important role in their FA Cup success and scored in the semi-final and final. However, he now knew attention and Mikel Arteta, who is looking for broad players this summer, is considering a move.
The wing player himself loves a switch over the capital with Arsenal aware of his appreciation. There have been reports that they were trying to pay for Eze in installments while they try to further strengthen their front line.
Viktor Gyokeres was purchased as a no. 9 with Noni Madueke who also participated in Chelsea. They will compliment the will of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri and Ferdinand where Eze would fit.
He said on his YouTube channel: “I don't think [Arsenal] Required. Why [Arsenal] Need it? Where is he going to play? You have Martin Zubimendi as a regular midfielder, Declan Rice on the left side of the No. 8, Martin Odegaard on the right side. Then you have a winger – from Noni Madueke or Gabriel Martinelli … he would play where Declan Rice plays. “
Eze excelled on the flanks, but can also play as a 10, which would give Arteta more options. Martin Odegaard has been the team's most important playmaker and Martin Zubimendi has arrived to add more quality to midfield.
Arsenal's wish to bring in a quality wing was underlined earlier this summer from Nico Williams before he chose to stay in Athletic Bilbao. Rodrygo from Real Madrid was also a target, but he is now ready to stay with the Spanish giants and to fight for his place.
Last month, Arteta hinted at more things when he claimed: “There is still a long time in the window. And we are still looking for numbers, we are short, and we have to improve the depth and quality of the team. We are constantly looking at the market.”
The Eagles are now hopeful that they can keep Eze and Marc Guehi. Both players are open to stay, despite interest elsewhere. Captain Guehi is on the Radar of Liverpool and will see his contract expire next summer, which could play a factor in his future.
