The new Arsenal signing of Eberechi Eze will create “magical moments” and bring the club to a different level, said manager Mikel Areta.
Eze was presented to the Emirates audience in the minutes before Arsenals 5-0 demolition job by Leeds, who fired the Gunners at an early sight of the Premier League summit.

Eze closed a step, which costs up to £ 68 million-not in time to face the newly widespread side.
But since both Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard violate injuries to Arsenal’s second victory in so many games, Eze is to get his debut against Liverpool in Anfield next Sunday.
And Areta said about his recent recruit: “He (Eze) has the ability to create these magical moments. He can do it from different positions, different situations. He has this flair and he has this charisma about him, which is very contagious.
“It shows how much we want to bring this club to a different level. His talent is undeniable. He has experienced in this league. The personality is incredible.

“He can play different positions. We know that he can play as an attacking midfielder, on the right or left. He doesn’t care. And you can say that what happened in this field (before the game), the world means to him to be happy.”

EZE is the seventh new face in the Emirates this summer in the middle of an output of 250 million pounds, the arteta with what he believes is the most full side of his almost six years responsible.
And the depth of Aretetas squad is to be tested with Saka and Odegaard, which Kai Havertz follows on the injury table.
Havertz suffered a knee problem after Arsenal’s victory at Manchester United last weekend, while Saka and Odegaard suffered the thigh and shoulder injuries against Leeds.

Saka missed three and a half months of last season after the operation on his right thigh-at Saturday, he injured his left armpit-while Captain Odegaard was also absent for 12 games with an ankle problem, since injuries derailed the striving from arsenal to silver goods.

The duo will undergo scans on Sunday to discover the extent of its latest setbacks, and Areteta continued: “You only have to see the number of minutes that team 2023-24 played. You can name the start-XI.
“Last year it was a little different because the amount of injuries we had, and the start of this season was not great in this sense.

“But we are without a doubt much more – and that is necessary. If you compete at this level and want to be very dominant, there is no other option.”
Arsenal announced on Sunday afternoon that the club was forced to violate Leeds due to the continuing treatment of Odegaard to postpone a planned appearance in the club’s business, The Armory, on Monday.
