Former Spurs Striker Urges Eze to Choose Arsenal Over Tottenham

Eberechi Eze is attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur, but a former Premier League player has urged the skillful forward to reject their advances in favour of the Gunners. Arsenal are widely expected to sign one more player before the transfer window closes, and Eze’s name continues to crop up.

The Gunners are reportedly lining up a move for the England international due to his versatility and attacking qualities, but have yet to make any significant push for his signature. This uncertainty has opened the door for Spurs to attempt a hijack, with multiple sources suggesting the player would be open to joining them as well.

Darren Bent makes his case for Arsenal

Speaking on TalkSport, Darren Bent urged the former Arsenal academy player to turn down Tottenham and choose a return to the Gunners instead.

“If you’re looking at Arsenal and Tottenham. Yes, Spurs won a trophy last year, but they finished fourth from bottom. In my opinion Arsenal are in a better place. They finished second three times in a row,” said Bent.

The former Tottenham man also believes Eze would have no problem integrating into Arsenal’s starting XI. Thanks to his versatility, he can play on the left flank or in midfield, and Bent feels he would be a better option than some of the current choices.

“I think if Eze comes he does start and I still like Gabriel Martinelli but Eze is a better player. Odegaard is not flying like he was. I watched Arsenal all pre-season. (He) hasn’t got going yet. I just think for Eze, Arsenal would be the better fit for him,” he added.

Arsenal must act quickly

Arsenal’s lack of a firm bid may be linked to limited transfer business in the opposite direction. The club are reportedly waiting to offload several players before making a move, with Leandro Trossard, Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson all touted for departures this summer.

If the Gunners are still serious about signing Eze, they must act fast amid strong interest from their bitter rivals.

Do you think Eze would be the perfect signing to complete Arsenal’s summer?
