Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has lifted the lid on a private
conversation he had with Eberechi Eze before the midfielder’s blockbuster move to Arsenal and his revelation has left many Gunners supporters stunned.
Speaking to the press, Glasner admitted that while Arsenal is a dream destination for most players, what Eze told him about his decision to join the North London club this summer was completely unexpected.
“Although every player in the Premier League would love the chance to play for Arsenal, here’s what Eberechi told me… and I’m sorry to say, it wasn’t what I thought I’d hear,” Glasner revealed, without hiding his surprise.
The Austrian coach went on to say that Eze’s reasoning for the move was “unique” and “deeply personal,” suggesting it wasn’t solely about trophies, money, or even Mikel Arteta’s project but something else entirely.
“He explained it to me in detail, and honestly, I understood his perspective. Still, it’s not the usual reason players give when they join a club of that size,” Glasner added.
While Glasner didn’t reveal the full details, his comments have set social media ablaze, with Arsenal fans desperate to know the exact motivation behind Eze’s switch. Some are calling it a refreshing take from a modern footballer, while others are questioning whether his priorities truly align with the club’s ambitions.
One thing is certain Eberechi Eze’s move to Arsenal has sparked more intrigue than anyone expected, and all eyes will be on him when he steps out in red and white for the first time this season.
