What Eveletchi Eze can bring to Arsenal
Explaining why he is a fan of what Eze offers, Watts added: “It is clear that this team is missing out on Maverick type attackers.

“People like Eze could provide that spark, he could add that kind of creativity that Arsenal had been screaming for the past year or so.
“He gets goals, he gets goals, he can play on the left, or he can move inwards in the central area when he’s struggling or in place of Odegard with him.
“I think Eze will offer Arteta so many new options. He’s going to be a great signing.”
