Ebereechi Eze revealed how his mother's prayers were answered by his relocation of £ 67.5 million to Arsenal. Eze, 27, gave a heart-warming story about how his mother dreamed of the moment when he was released by Arsenal at the age of 13 after he spent five years in the club's academy.
Eze grew up as a fan of Arsenal and admitted that he felt that he was' right “on each of the four times he played in the Emirates for Crystal Palace because he was so desperate to sign for his boys heroes.
England Eze said: “I remember the day I was released, my mother said a prayer that this would happen. For me this is a realization of a prayer we have prayed for. This is deeper than anyone can understand it. I can see God's hand in it, so I know it is meant.
“I thought about coming back from the moment I understood other clubs and what it meant to be a professional. I always thought:” Arsenal is where it is, that's what I want to achieve, what I want to achieve. “
“I have been to the test for four years, when I am honest. Every time I came to Arsenal, I looked at the chair I used to sit on when I used to come to games with my brothers, and I said every time:” This is it – it's time, this is a chance. “
“I am not going to say that I knew it would happen, but that is the feeling. As a player I have a level of belief in myself. I played how I played, I have developed this and that, and I had the heart that if it is meant it will happen, and I believe it will happen.”
Last week Tottenham to draw for Arsenal and liked to be presented to the crowd in the Emirates during the 5-0 victory of the club over Leeds on Saturday.

Eze, who will wear the NO10 shirt, revealed his phone call with Gunners -Baas Mikel Arteta, which was said to convince him that it was the right move and why he believes he can win trophies with Arsenal.
Eze spoke with Arsenal -legend Ian Wright on the club website: “I ran away before at Emirates Stadium, but not as an arsenal player. So to be on the other side, to wear in number 10 … If you ask me where I want to be at this age, this is it.
“It is a privilege and an honor, because I know the names that this shirt has worn for me. I see this opportunity as something that is like a blessing, so to be here, I will give everything I have to pay back.
“I can see (artetas) energy, I can see the level of passion he has. That is all I need, I know, I can see that. Anrea Berta too, I know they will make me better.
“There were conversations about position, but as long as I am on the field and had the opportunity to play and express myself in that area, it doesn't matter where I play. Of course he has ideas and things he wants, but for me I am free.
“I just want to win, I want to win what is there. I feel that I now have a taste of it and to contribute, to give what I can to help the team win. I am about it. That is my mentality.
“I have seen what it means, I have seen what you can do, not only for your teammates and the staff, but I can see what you can do if you win, when you bring that kind of joy to the place. So to be part of it, that's my goal.”
In the meantime, Arsenal is also hopeful that Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard will not get a long enchantment on the sidelines after they both whip against Leeds.
Saka sustained a hamstring injury and Odegaard hurt his shoulder, but early checks are hopeful that they will not be out in the long term, although it is still too seen whether they can fit on Liverpool next weekend. Odegaard brought a club event for supporters from the Emirates on Monday.
