Mikel Arteta, head coach of Arsenal Football Club, has suggested that the club secured Eberechi Eze’s signature because the 27-year-old will give the Gunners a new dimension in the attack.
The Spaniard also described the England international as a powerful footballer.
On Saturday, Arsenal announced the signing of the attacking midfielder from Premier League side Crystal Palace.
Eze moved to the Emirates Stadium in a transfer deal worth £67.5 million and was handed the number 10 jersey.
“Eberechi is a powerful and exciting player who’ll give Arsenal a new dimension in our attacking game,” Arteta said via Arsenal’s website.
“His journey, his mentality, and his ambition are exactly what we want in our team.”
