News don burst say Tottenham Hotspur don reach verbal agreement with Crystal Palace to carry England baller Eberechi Eze join dem side.
As Spurs dey rush settle ground after James Maddison serious ACL injury and Son Heung-min waka go Los Angeles FC, dem sharply return back to Eze matter.
For many Arsenal fans, question dey run for mind: “Why we no chase Eze, since na our ex-academy product?” But truth be say, Gunners no really get wetin dey make dem lose sleep over this transfer, especially with how dem midfield dey set up already.
Odegaard & Young Stars Hold Midfield Fort
Former Arsenal FA Cup winner Jermaine Pennant yan say make Gunners no dey panic. According to am, Eze na baller wey fit enter any team, but for Arsenal case, dem midfield don already choke with quality.
You get Martin Odegaard, captain wey dey shine for number 10 role. Behind am, the young bloods dey step up: Ethan Nwaneri don just sign new long-term contract, and 15-year-old Max Dowman dey ball like future star since pre-season. With these options, Arsenal no dey lack creativity for advanced midfield position.
“Eze Best Position Go Clash With Odegaard” – Pennant
Pennant drop clear take:
“Eze na quality player wey any manager go love. But to get the best out of am, you gatz play am number 10. If you push am go left, you dey kill hin best attribute. For Arsenal right now, that number 10 shirt na Odegaard own. So unless you wan bench captain, wetin be the point?”
In short, Arsenal fit admire Eze, but reality be say dem no really need am. Even if he dey shine, e no go fit displace Odegaard or totally change Arsenal attack flow.
Eze Palace Record Still Sweet
Before him move, Eze don leave solid footprint for Palace. With 40 goals and 28 assists inside 169 appearances, he don already stamp im name as one of Eagles key men. Him last outing against Chelsea nearly end with trademark free-kick goal, but VAR no gree. Still, Spurs dey carry come one baller wey sabi turn game upside down.
Arsenal Transfer Window Still Dey Dry
Meanwhile, Arsenal own summer transfer gist no too dey loud. Money wey don enter dey small — around £10m from selling Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos. Big names like Partey, Jorginho and Tomiyasu don waka on free transfer, while players like Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson and Lokonga fit still dey market before deadline.
One name wey dey fly around na Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, but wetin make matter bend be say Arsenal no really get space to splash cash unless dem clear more bodies. Even then, say Rodrygo go land no dey certain, since Madueke already dey try hold left flank.
Final Take: Arsenal No Go Miss Wetin Dem No Need
Tottenham fit dey rejoice say dem don grab Eze, but Arsenal fans no suppose dey cry. With Odegaard steady, Nwaneri rising, and Dowman dey show future, the team no dey dry for creativity. Like Pennant yan, “nice to think of Eze, but truth be say, Arsenal no actually need am.”
So make Spurs enjoy their new baller. For Arsenal, focus still dey clear: keep strengthening where the team truly need am, and no chase names just because rivals dey make moves.
