In the shinning economy of Premier League football, a lot of money is in making and breaking in the football field. Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has gone ahead to endorse the recent summer sensation in Arsenal. His old midfield general, showed Eberechi Eze as a possible 100 million player. He is attributing the intelligent decision by Mikel Arteta to bring in a diamond.
Eze came to Arsenal on a 67.5 million deal during the 2025 summer transfer window. He has not taken long to reward the trust that Arteta has placed in him. The 27-year old attacking midfielder burst onto the Emirates scene in spectacular fashion. With a hat-trick in the 4-1 Arsenal demolishes north London competition Tottenham Hotspur.
Scholes’ Glowing Endorsement
Talking in The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast, Scholes said: “He just comes across as an affable guy, right? He is not at all arrogant, he is just a brilliant football player. The goals were probably the only thing he was lacking in his game. As he attends a club such as Arsenal, he is forced to begin to win games in their club. He must win matches and goals for Arsenal and he is doing so at the moment.
Fellow Pundits Weigh In
In line with this, the co-host of the show Nicky Butt termed Eze as a superstar in the making. Butt emphasized the humility of the player pointing out that it took Eze a long time to light a fire at Arsenal. But his talent against Spurs shouted inevitably. He looks like that mortal of not wanting to be a superstar-but he is going to be one.
Another United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has also jumped on the bandwagon. He indicated that Eze has just solidified his place as the first one on the team sheet of Arteta. Having Odegaard almost fully fit, it promises to be a mouth-watering midfield tussle, yet to Arteta, it is a “problem” he would enjoy.
A Vision for Glory
The career of Eze highlights the vision of Arteta, incorporation of youth, grit, and genius to end the long years of do without silver at Arsenal. Should Scholes be correct, as history shows that the ginger maestro is seldom wrong, Eze might even rival his transfer price soon enough, driving the Gunners to the top. Exciting times indeed at the Emirates.
