Eze swapped Crystal Palace for Arsenal in a £60M that he worked out so far for manager Mikel Arteta who had led his side to the top of the league with a four point gap.
The England star was released by the club’s academy at the age of 13 and has now made his way back in what was an emotional return. Eze has scored two goals and contributed two assists so far under Arteta in what looks to be a very successful move.
Speaking to the Beast Mode On podcast, Eze has revealed that the pressure is off this season as he enjoys his time at Arsenal so far.
“Everyone is sort of what you expect them to be. The expectation of all the players is high. I'll say one player who has gone even beyond the high expectation I already had - because I'd heard good things about him - was Jurrien Timber. He's a special player and a special guy.
“I think for me, in an environment of people, and you have a culture that is geared towards improving, these guys all want to improve. So for me, it's a pleasure to be part of it and to see guys like him who perform the way they perform, who carry themselves the way they carry themselves. It’s inspiring, for sure.”
The 27-year-old has helped the Gunners enjoy a sensational start to the season as they cruise towards their first league title since 2002. However, Arsenal face Tottenham after the international break, and they must keep their momentum up to avoid slipping up and helping out their rivals.
