Unexpected twist. Is the star footballer considering leaving Arsenal?
Midfielder Eberechi Eze has found himself in a difficult situation at Arsenal. Due to fierce competition, the footballer has lost ground in Mikel Arteta's team, but journalist Pete O'Rourke claims that the player is not planning to leave the London club.
Arsenal initially intended to use Eze as an attacking midfielder, but Martin Ødegaard's return to top form has complicated the Englishman's situation. On the left flank, according to the source, Chistos Tzolis could be preferred.
Eze has started just one of the first seven league matches. In the game against Nottingham Forest, he was substituted at half-time. Nevertheless, the midfielder managed to remind everyone of his capabilities in the Champions League: he scored against Bayern after coming on following Bukayo Saka's injury.
According to O'Rourke, Eze is happy with his situation and intends to fight for more playing time. The footballer himself believes he can still make a significant contribution to Arsenal.
Another opportunity could arise due to Saka's injury, with the source reporting that he will be sidelined for around six weeks. This gives Arteta the chance to involve Eze more often when rotating his attacking options.
