"Mikel Arteta has heaped praise onto Eberechi Eze for the contribution he's making without even playing at the moment. The England international joined the Gunners from Crystal Palace in the summer, and has contributed five goals and two assists so far, including a memorable hat-trick against Tottenham. Still, Eze has had to make do with being an unused substitute in the last few games, leading to understandable questions about the situation."
"When asked to explain what he meant by Eze being exceptional when he's not playing, Arteta explained: Because his level of desire is going higher. The way he trains every day, the way he wants it, the way he wants to make everything that it takes to change my mind. He's been phenomenal, and that's not easy. I'm very confident that we're going to see a great version of Ebs."
"Speaking at his press conference ahead of Arsenal's game against Liverpool, Arteta had nothing but positive things to say about Eze when asked about continuing to leave him on the bench. The Spanish tactician has clearly not given up on Eze yet, and fans will be delighted by what sounds like a great response from the player to missing out on starting games recently."
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised Eberechi Eze for his contributions despite recent bench appearances. Eze joined from Crystal Palace in the summer and has five goals and two assists, including a hat-trick against Tottenham. Arteta highlighted Eze's phenomenal behind-the-scenes spirit, training intensity and growing desire to force his way back into the starting lineup. Eze has been an unused substitute in recent matches, with central performances from Martin Odegaard making selection harder. Arteta expressed confidence that Eze will produce a strong version when given the opportunity and emphasised the value of squad members who remain exceptional off the pitch.
