Eze's patient approach to the game may be paying off, but his end-of-season form could be the key to Arsenal's title hopes. In an interview, Eze revealed his motto: 'It's not about now, it's the long game.' This philosophy has been a constant throughout his career, from being released by Arsenal at 13 to finding his footing at Queens Park Rangers. Despite a dream move back to his boyhood club, Crystal Palace, Eze's goals have dried up, and Mikel Arteta has seemingly lost faith in him. With 18 appearances and no goals since November, Eze has been restricted to a bit-part role in the Premier League. However, with Arteta confirming that Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard are back in contention for the weekend, Eze faces another challenge to force his way back into the team. The statistics show that Eze's productivity on the pitch has not been the same as at Palace, with a decrease in dribbles and chances created. Despite this, Eze remains confident, stating, 'As long as I'm on the pitch and given the opportunity to play, it doesn't matter where I play.' But first, he must convince Arteta. With Arsenal in desperate need of inspiration, Eze's record in previous campaigns could be the key to their title hopes. Will his patient approach and end-of-season form be enough to lift Arsenal to the top? Only time will tell.
