Arsenal now chasing the Target Spurs which is “one of the best in PL”

It is difficult to remember when the mood in the base of arsenal fans was also positive.
Although there are several reasons, the most important factor is undoubtedly the arrival of Ebelechi Eze.
The English international was one of the most entertaining players in the Premier League for years, and just before their rivals in northern London, Tottenham Hotspur got their hands, the Gunners immersed themselves to bring him back to the Emirates.
Now, with less than a week until the window is closed, it seems that the club could be about to bring another talented player in a rehearsal Eze.
Arsenal Eye Eze repeat
While Arsenal made some signatures from foreign leagues this summer, Andrea Berta and Co also made good use of the Premier League market.
In addition to Eze, Italian transactions supervised to sign Noni Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga de Chelsea then, staying in western London, an agreement to sign Christian Norgaard de Brentford.
Over the past years, it would be more than like business for the Gunners, but now it seems that they could return to the bees for another star in an Eze-Esque agreement.
It was at least according to a recent report by Graeme Bailey, who said that Arsenal was interested in Nathan Collins.
The journalist revealed that the Brentford captain had drawn the attention of several high -level teams this summer, and alongside the Spurs, the artillerymen are one of them.
While the western Londoners want to sell the 24 -year -old player, which they signed for only 23 million pounds sterling a few seasons ago, there are still six days until the window is closed, and therefore every chance that the Gunners can make a rehearsal of Eze.
Why sign Collins would be a rehearsal Eze
While Aek and Collins obviously play in completely different positions in the field, there are many reasons why the signing of Arsenal would reflect their agreement for the first.
The first reason, then one of his fans will probably appreciate the most, is that it could be another example of them who divert a movement for a player that Spurs want to sign.
Baliey’s story clearly shows that one of the other parties currently most interested in the defender is the Lilywhites, and therefore, if the Gunners enter first, it would give fans even more opportunities to jubilant.
Another key similarity between the two is that the two were or are, in the case of Collins, key players for a first league colleague based in London.
For example, although it does not receive as much attention from the media, the Irish Titan is now the captain of Brentford and has made 80 appearances for the club.
In addition, he has not only won the armband thanks to his leadership skills, but also for the fact that he is a huge central defender.
In fact, journalist Mario Marra went so far as to double him “one of the best defenders of the Premier League”, and although it may seem somewhat hyperbolic, his underlying figures suggest that it may not be.
According to FBREF, it ranked in the most important 1% of the central defenders of the Premier League last season for blocked shots, the most important 3% for the overall blocks, the largest 4% for the decisive passes, the most important 9% for shooting actions, the highest 11% for the air duels won and more, all for 90.
In other words, although he does not attract many big titles, the star of bees is an accomplished defender who excels on the bases and is more than after the technical aspects of the game.

In the end, to beat the Spurs to another player, the team for which he currently plays and his overall quality, the signing of Collins would be a kind of rehearsal of Eze for Arsenal.
