Arsenal can forget Eze by signing “one of the best LW in Europe” for 87 million pounds sterling

They may have lost two games, but it would be difficult to describe this summer as something other than a success for Arsenal.
The Mikel Arteta team has won their three others, and the board of directors has properly supported it on the market so far.
The tastes of Viktor Gyokerres, Martin Zubimenddi and Noni Madueke all seem ready to have a significant impact in the Premier League and beyond this season.
However, there is still time for the club to make more signatures, and one of the players with whom they were the most linked is Ebelechi Eze.
However, although the Crystal Palace star would be an excellent signature, it could be wiser to Andrea Berta and Co to return for another dynamic striker linked to the side earlier in the window.
Why Arsenal wants to sign Eze
While Arsenal has already been linked to Eze, with stories praising him for a move to the Emirates last summer, the links were much more substantial and consistent this year.
In fact, there are a lot of reports saying that the player is ready to join the Arteta team, and that the only obstacle is that the club wishes to sell players first.
Whatever happens in the coming weeks, it is clear that the Gunners are interested in the AS of the Palace, and it is not difficult to understand why.
After all, despite playing the best for an intermediary team at best, the English international was able to score 14 goals and provide 11 assists in 43 games, totaling 3303 minutes last season.
This means that the old QPR gem has maintained an average of a target every 1.72 games, every 132.12 minutes.
In addition to that, he also played a key role in the triumph of the FA Cup of South Londoners, marking in the quarter-final, in the semi-finals and in the final.
However, although all of this is extremely impressive, and we do not doubt that Aek would be a success in northern London, Arsenal could be better to return to another player with whom they were linked earlier this summer: Bradley Barcola.
Why Arsenal should sign Barcola on Eze
Now, this is certainly the case that the links with Barcola were rare this summer, but not nonexistent, because Arsenal would have contacted the French winger in June.
Since then, the stories have said that the Paris Saint-Germain star has been assessed at around 87 million pounds sterling, and although this is a sum of massive money, we always think that it is a transfer in which the artillerymen should be back in a significant way.
The first reason concerns the very impressive 22 -year -old production last season.
In 64 appearances for the Parisians, totaling 3,927 minutes, the revolutionary talent, which respected analyst Ben Mattinson, nicknamed “one of the best LW in Europe”, scored 21 goals and provided 21 assists.
In other words, the superstar born by Lyon has maintained an average of an attack on an objective every 1.52 games, or every 93.5 minutes, which is almost incredible given the amount of football he played.

In addition to being more dangerous than Eze, we would say that, as a left-left aumer, the former Gem Lyon is also more of what the Londoners of the North need for the moment.
With Martin Odegaard who seeks to return to his best and Ethan Nwaneri slamming on his heels, the most blatant weakness on the side of Arteta is ineffectiveness on the left, with Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard being the kind of players who were not repressed on the defenders of the opposition.
In the end, it could be something long, but if Arsenal really wants to take a massive step forward and closer to the glory of Premier League this summer, they should do everything for Barcola on Eze.
