Eberechi Eze has opened up on the confidence he had that he would secure a move to Arsenal and it ready to repay their faith on the pitch.

Eze came through the North London club’s famous Hale End academy but was released at the age of 13 before working his way up the English football pyramid.

He is currently away with the England national team and was asked about whether he was ever worried Arsenal wouldn’t make an offer.

Speaking to the Independent, he responded: "Worried? No. Because I play football. That’s what I do and wherever I am, I want to be the best I can be and I’m confident I’ll do that wherever I am.

“I’m grateful that its Arsenal and that I’ve got the opportunity to play there and do what I do and I’m looking forward to it."
