What seemed like a rather boring summer for Arsenal fans about a week ago exploded into life afterwards.
Kepa Arrizabalaga may be the only signature officially announced while things are standing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Brentford star Christian Norgaard’s documents are reportedly signed, and Martin Zubimendi is expected to be announced by the end of the week.
On top of that, Mikel Arteta appears to eventually acquire some offensive stars. Ebeki Eze appears to be a possible addition and now reports that he will connect the club to someone who will become the perfect teammate for him.
Arsenal Target Dream Ez Teammate
The opening of the window was dominated by a story that linked Arsenal to one of Benjamin Sesco or Victor Gyoker, but Eze has now achieved a central stage.
The story promoting him for a move to the Emirates began to gain traction midway through last week, but recently it has really gained momentum.
In further good news, some of the latest reports say that the British are now “desperate” to join gunners.
The desire to move to the N5 may increase as the people of North London link to those who are also associated with Ollie Watkins, his perfect teammate.
It revealed that Arsenal has once again come into contact with Aston Villa players, according to insider team news and ticks.
They claim that despite the fact that the British are not currently the club’s preferred striker, he is on the list and, as a boyhood fan, he personally “loves to play” for them.
From a money perspective involved, other stories from this summer show that the roughly £40 million fee could be sufficient to seduce claret and blue to sell.
At that price, this potential transfer feels like an easy one, especially as he becomes Eze’s incredible teammate.
Why Watkins is the best for Eze
Naturally, first and undoubtedly, the most important reason why Eze wants to play with Watkins at Arsenal is his output.
For example, “Nightmare,” dubbed by Conor Coady since the start of the 23/24 season, has scored an astounding 44 goals and provided 29 assists in 107 appearances in all competitions, providing a total of 7,901 minutes.
In other words, the former Exeter City gem averages goal involvement per game every 1.46 games or every 108.23 minutes.

Now, imagine how good the number of 25 goals involved in 43 games last season would be if he were playing just behind a striker who is as effective as Villa Ace.
Furthermore, another reason why palace stars can love to play with the 29-year-old is because they are both currently international in England.
Therefore, they will have the opportunity to further develop their partnerships at both the national and international levels, which could help them to secure more game time under Thomas Tuschel.
Ultimately, the best players in world football want to play alongside the best, and based on Villa’s performance in recent years, Eze hopes to be excited to start with Watkins at Arsenal.
So Andrea Berta and Co should be doing everything they can to sign both this summer.
