"When Eberechi Eze joined Arsenal in the summer it looked like a perfect fit the former Crystal Palace playmaker had returned to his boyhood club, who in turn had signed just the kind of X-factor maverick that their attack was lacking. Fast forward six months later and Eze's Arsenal dream is turning into a nightmare. The England international hasn't been starting a lot of games,"
"Eze's stats in that first half against Brentford were abysmal 0 shots, 0 dribbles, and 0 key passes a far cry from the entertainer we saw at Palace for so many years. We have seen one moment of genuine magic from Eze as he scored a famous hat-trick in the North London Derby win over Tottenham back in November, but he has zero goals and just one assist in the 16 games since then."
Eberechi Eze returned to Arsenal from Crystal Palace amid high expectations after failing to make Arsenal's academy as a youngster. The 27-year-old received an emotional reception but has struggled for form and minutes, often not starting and substituted at halftime against Brentford. In that first half he recorded 0 shots, 0 dribbles and 0 key passes. Apart from a November hat-trick against Tottenham, Eze has managed zero goals and one assist across the subsequent 16 matches. Mikel Arteta cited a need for a different profile to create problems when explaining the halftime substitution.
