Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager, shares what Eberechi Eze has demonstrated in training sessions, hinting at a unique charm around the player

Eberechi Eze, the midfielder valued at €55m according to Transfermarkt, is poised to make his debut for Arsenal this weekend in a highly-anticipated match against Liverpool. The Premier League action returns after a break, and the spotlight is on the new signing.

Arsenal secured Eze at the last minute, preventing Tottenham Hotspur from acquiring him. His unveiling at the Emirates Stadium was a lively affair, with a bouncing crowd in attendance. Eze donned baggy jeans and an Arsenal top for the occasion.

Eze's journey to Arsenal has been far from straightforward. He began his career with QPR before moving to Crystal Palace, and he belonged to the latter before his move to the Gunners. During his time at Crystal Palace, Eze earned playmaker rights and consistently posted double-digit goal involvements.

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager, has been full of praise for Eze. He described the midfielder as having a "special aura" around him. Arteta's comments echo those made by former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, who narrated an announcement video for Eze's signing.

The Emirates Stadium's advertising hoardings read "It's not just about the destination, it's how you get there" during Eze's unveiling, a fitting sentiment for a player who has come through the ranks and returned to the club as a star player.

However, Arsenal may be without another star player for the match against Liverpool. Martin Odegaard is a major doubt for the game. This could pave the way for Eze to make his debut in a crucial match.

Eze has impressed Arteta on the training pitch, and his performance against Manchester City in the FA Cup Final, where he scored a decisive goal, has further cemented his place in the team.

As the Premier League season reaches its climax, the arrival of Eze adds an exciting new dimension to Arsenal's attack. Fans will be eager to see how he fares against one of the league's toughest opponents this weekend.
