Arsenal have been urged to seal the transfer of Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze by journalist and Gunners expert Charles Watts.
Writing in his latest exclusive column for CaughtOffside, Watts explained that he hopes Arsenal explore the option of signing Eze this summer as he sees him as someone who could fit perfectly into Mikel Arteta’s side.
Capable of playing centrally or out wide, Eze was a stand-out performer for Palace in their FA Cup semi-final win over Aston Villa at Wembley at the weekend, and it’s fair to say he won over Watts with his eye-catching display.
Eberechi Eze looks like the perfect signing for Arsenal
Arsenal are likely to be linked with a host of attacking players in the weeks and months ahead, but Watts singled out Eze as the player he’d love to see moving to the Emirates Stadium.
“Arsenal are going to be linked with several wingers ahead of the summer window,” Watts wrote.
He added: “Personally, my pick would be Eberechi Eze. I think he is perfect for Arsenal and what they need.
“He could play out wide, or he could play more centrally and provide more of a creative spark in those areas. He loves a shot from distance, which is something Arsenal need to do more of as well.
“I watched Eze destroy Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final last week and I could just imagine him doing the same thing in an Arsenal shirt.
“I really hope that is something Arsenal look at when the window opens.”
Can Palace keep hold of Eberechi Eze and other stars?
It could be a difficult summer for Palace, as Eze could be one of a few names in demand.
The England international is someone who looks destined to go to a higher level, but the same is also true of others like Adam Wharton, Marc Guehi and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
It remains to be seen which of those players will be targeted the most strongly, but it’s clear that Eze would be a popular choice for Arsenal.
Who to sign or who not to sign is not a concern but mapping out how to overcome PSG on Wednesday 2nd leg of the Euafa semi final game but I have an idea Mikel Arteta must drop Martin Ordegaide in the bench let Ethan Nwaneri starts because all the ball Ordegaide are ballooning over the bar and wide, Ethan Nwaneri will convert many of them let Arteta starts Bukayo Saka Myles lewis Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri together and let’s see new things in the lineup may be Ordegaide will come in in the 2nd half if need be sin Ordegaide came back from injury he has been the same àgain either he is playing safe to be fit to go to Europe competition or his not yet 100 percent fit he is playing with fear because this not the Ordegaide we know so let him him a breathing space and see how it goes if Ethan Nwaneri is feature on the regular this Jamie is not better than him and if we can see the numbers of goals he has scored that will prove him right, let’s keep our fingers crossed Myles lewis Skelly have already said it that Ethan Nwaneri have the most dangerous Left foot in Arsenal that is a message to those who have the inner ear to listen that’s my opinion.Note I didn’t say Ordegaide is not good he is our captain yes but allow him some rest to pick up himself.
