It is something that Arteta has previously acknowledged, but that does not mean Eze cannot excel from elsewhere on the pitch – having also been used on the right side of Arsenal‘s middle three.
“He is that smart, and that good as a footballer, that he can occupy any space. I am more driven to decide where he plays in relation to the players around him than his position,” Arteta said before the 0-0 draw with Liverpool.
Eze has had limited starts from the left wing,and in his last start there,at Aston Villa on December 9, 2023, he was at fault for their opening goal in a 1-0 defeat after failing to track right-back Matty Cash.
Arteta has said that during his period out of the team, Eze has been exceptional, and that his desire has gone “even higher”.
At the turn of the year, the manager said Eze had played more football than he had at the same stage of any previous season.
That is true in terms of his Premier league career – as of January 2024, he had appeared in 19 games and played 1188 minutes for Arsenal, exceeding his minutes played at the same stage for Crystal palace last season. however, he played significantly more minutes for QPR in the Championship in the 2019-20 season.
As of February 4,2024,The Gunners are currently 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League with 51 points,and are competing in the Champions League,having won all their group stage matches.
They won the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final 3-0 against Chelsea and are in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Eze is still getting game time, albeit not regularly in the Premier League.
