I didn’t just join Arsenal because of the project,I join because of this particular Arsenal player,He has only been the one I want to play alongside with in my career”, Eberechi Eze named the ONE Arsenal player that inspired Him to join after signing FIVE years with the GUNNERS TODAY

Arsenal fans have been treated to a massive boost today as the club officially announced the signing of Eberechi Eze on a five-year contract. But in his first press conference as a Gunner, the England international made a stunning admission — his move to North London wasn’t just about Arsenal’s project, but about one player in particular.

“I didn’t just join Arsenal because of the project,” Eze confessed. “I joined because of this particular Arsenal player. He has only been the one I’ve wanted to play alongside with in my career.”

While Eze kept fans in suspense for a few moments, the press room erupted in speculation before he smiled and finally named his inspiration.

The Inspiration Behind the Move

Eze revealed that the player in question is none other than Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s homegrown superstar.

“Bukayo has been a joy to watch — his skill, his maturity, and his love for the game… it’s infectious,” Eze said. “From the first time I faced him, I told myself, ‘One day, I want to be in the same team as this guy.’ Now, here I am.”

The 26-year-old midfielder, known for his creativity, dribbling, and flair, believes his combination with Saka will unlock new attacking possibilities for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Arsenal’s Statement of Intent

This signing is yet another signal that Arsenal mean business in the transfer market. Eze’s versatility allows him to operate both centrally and out wide, making him a perfect fit for Arteta’s fluid attacking system.

Arteta himself expressed delight at the signing:

> “Eberechi is a player we’ve admired for a long time. His quality, his intelligence on the pitch, and his mentality match what we’re building here.”

Fan Reactions

Arsenal fans flooded social media with messages of excitement: “Saka and Eze on the same pitch? The Premier League isn’t ready.”

Crystal Palace fans were emotional, with many thanking Eze for his service and wishing him well — except against them.

Eze’s debut could come as soon as next weekend, and all eyes will be on how quickly the new Arsenal No. [TBA] forms the much-anticipated partnership with Bukayo Saka.
