Eberechi Eze’s name continues to circulate around North London, with Arsenal reportedly keen on the Crystal Palace and England winger. At 26, Eze is entering his prime—and Mikel Arteta may see him as the key to unlocking the Gunners’ full attacking potential, especially on the left flank.
Last season, Arsenal’s inability to convert possession into points proved costly. In 17 matches where they dominated the ball with over 60% possession, they won only seven. The root of the problem? A consistent struggle to break down deep defensive blocks.
While Gabriel Martinelli offers blistering pace, his dribbling success rate—just a third completed—highlights limitations when faced with compact defensive shapes. Trossard, though productive in flashes, remains inconsistent and perhaps better suited to a rotational role.
