Arsenal’s stunning £67.5 million acquisition of Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze has received a resounding endorsement from Paul Merson, who believes the England international can be the catalyst to deliver the Premier League title to the Emirates.
In an exclusive column for Sky Sports, the former Arsenal star hailed Eze’s potential to transform Mikel Arteta’s side.

Merson’s High Praise for Eze
Merson, reflecting on Eze’s move from Crystal Palace—where he scored 11 goals and provided 6 assists in the 2024/25 season—asserts that the 27-year-old’s creativity and versatility could be the missing piece in Arsenal’s title puzzle. “Eze can take Arsenal to the Premier League title,” Merson wrote. “He’s got the flair, the work rate, and the ability to unlock defenses—something they’ve lacked on the left.”
The Sky Sports article highlights Eze’s 2.1 key passes per game (WhoScored) and his potential to complement Viktor Gyokeres, whose integration has been cautious following his £64 million arrival.
