I thought I could easily beat Him with my skills last night but to my greatest surprise He shocked me instead,It was yesterday that I truly confirmed what Mbappe said about Him”, Eberechi Eze named the ONE Arsenal player that really impressed Him yesterday – Not Kiwior and Not Saliba THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT MBAPPE SAID ABOUT HIM LAST TIME,WHAT A PLAYER HE’S BECOMING

Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze has heaped unexpected praise on one Arsenal player following yesterday’s intense Premier League clash — and it’s not who many fans would’ve expected.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Eze admitted he thought he could easily outfox the Arsenal man with his trademark skills and quick feet, but was left stunned by the player’s performance.

“I thought I could easily beat him with my skills last night,” Eze confessed. “But to my greatest surprise, he shocked me instead. It was yesterday that I truly confirmed what Mbappé said about him — what a player he’s becoming.”

While many fans were expecting names like Jakub Kiwior or William Saliba to be mentioned, Eze was actually referring to none other than Ben White.

The Mbappé Connection
This isn’t the first time White has caught the attention of top players. Kylian Mbappé himself previously singled out White in an interview after their international meeting, praising the Arsenal defender for his intelligent positioning, surprising pace, and ability to read the game.

Eze’s words now echo Mbappé’s sentiment, with the Palace playmaker acknowledging how tough White was to get past and how composed the Arsenal man was throughout the match.

A Rising Star in Arteta’s System
Ben White has quietly been one of Arsenal’s most consistent performers this season, operating both as a right-back and in central defence when needed. His versatility, calmness under pressure, and ability to contribute both defensively and in attack have made him a fan favorite and a crucial part of Mikel Arteta’s setup.

Fans React
Arsenal supporters were buzzing after hearing Eze’s comments, taking to social media to hail White’s growth and calling for more recognition of his efforts.

“Ben White deserves more credit. If even ballers like Eze and Mbappé are rating him, you know he’s doing something right,” one fan tweeted.

What’s Next for White?
With the Gunners heading into a vital Champions League fixture, Ben White’s rising reputation and confidence could not have come at a better time. If Arsenal are to go deep in Europe and maintain their title push, players like White stepping up on big nights will be absolutely essential.

As Eze put it best — “what a player he’s becoming.”
