Rio Ferdinand Fire Warning to Eberechi Eze for Arsenal Transfer this summer | Football

Rio Ferdinand has warned Eberechi Eze that he might fight for the match time if he joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

Eze is closely related to Arsenal ahead of the new Premier League season and players are considered interested in switching to North London.

Arsenal are reluctant to pay the price label of Eze £ 68 million – but believe they can negotiate lower costs before the summer window is closed on September 1.

Eze has established himself as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League, helping Palace land the historic FA Cup trophy last season.

The 27 -year -old has played a total of 167 matches for Palace to date, registered 40 goals and 28 assists for the South London club.

While agreeing to personal requirements with Arsenal could not be a significant problem, former Manchester United defender Ferdinand, who worked as a soccer scholar, had told the British to think twice about the transfer.

Ferdinand: Arsenal don’t need eze

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand said: ‘I don’t think [Arsenal] Need eze. Why do it [Arsenal] Need eze? Where will he play?

‘You have Martin Zubimendi as a reservoir midfielder, Declan Rice on the left side no.8, Martin Odegaard on the right side.

“Then, you have a winger – from Noni Hikeke or Gabriel Martinelli … He will play where Declan Rice plays.”

It almost impressed that after spending nearly £ 200 million for new blood so the Gunners seemed very well known in their 1-0 pre-season defeat from Tottenham.

The lack of discovery and dependence on Bukayo Saka, allied with traditional Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard about substitution makes fans despair.

It is clear why Arsenal supporters cried for Eberechi Eze.

Ferdinand: Eze will give Arsenal’s depth

Asked if the move made sense for Arsenal, Ferdinand agreed, with the reason that the potential for Eze’s arrival would give deeper shooters.

He also said that Eze could fit at Arsenal XI if the rice was mobilized as a defensive midfielder -Signing the new signing of Martin Zubimendi.

“If Declan Rice plays as a reservoir midfielder, I will take Eze in an instant,” added Ferdinand.

‘Yes, he will give [Arsenal] depth. You can move it. If Declan Rice is injured, who do you have? Max Dowman. ‘

Arsenal felt Eze’s best position was when he was operating as No.10 but also saw him as a versatile attacking player who could be deployed on the left.

It was also reported that Arsenal wanted to sell forward before making formal steps for Eze.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that the head of Palace Steve Parish currently does not show an indication that he will be open to negotiate lower prices for Eze.
