Former Manchester United star and now pundit Wayne Rooney has backed Eberechi Ezed to go on and become a ‘great player’ for Arsenal in ‘the next year or two’, as the midfielder struggles to make the impact many had hoped for.
ARSENAL managed to beat off London rivals Tottenham to get their man last summer and there have been weighty expectations on Eze’s shoulders to live up to his hefty price tag after impressing so much at Crystal Palace.
Arsenal fans have seen some brilliant flashes of brilliant from Eze since his move to the Emirates, But questions have been asked of Eze’s level of consistency in recent weeks.
The return to form of club captain Martin Odegaard means the England international has largely had to settle for substitute appearances, but Rooney has opened up and claimed that Eze will be a great signing for ARSENAL.
‘It depends on the game, depends on the type of opponent that we see and then performances,’ Mikel Arteta told reporters when asked why Eze’s recent playing time had been so limited on Monday.
‘Throughout the game, we see things we can do, how we can help the position more, and we have the ability to change that.’
‘To have that consistency of winning every week, it’s a big difference to what he’s been used to and that can be really difficult mentally.’
‘This season, he has to try and obviously get back into the team because he’s a fantastic player and he is trying to go to the World Cup as well.
‘But I think it will be over the next year or two that we’re going to see him cement his place in the team and then obviously become a great player for Arsenal.’
IcFootballnews Says…
With all the quality that ARSENAL have in that squad, in that midfield, it was always going to be very hard for Eze to put in the performances that he was at Palace, he doesnt know whether he is playing or not on a weekly basis.
He is a quality player that got his dream move, he is a brilliant signing for the Gunners, but maybe he made the wrong transfer move?
