Arsenal ‘boast’ £200m quartet in Underplayed Premier League XI

Writing for Football365, Jason Soutar selected an underplayed starting XI of Premier League players with fewer than 140 league minutes in the 2026/27 season. Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze headlines the team, with the author arguing Eze has struggled for form outside of derbies against Tottenham and has logged only 130 league minutes under manager Mikel Arteta.

The feature highlights several other squad players lacking playing time, including Arsenal teammates Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, and Viktor Gyokeres. Additional selections include Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, Manchester City duo Rico Lewis and Ayyoub Bouaddi, Chelsea winger Estevao, and Aston Villa loanee Alejandro Garnacho, whose temporary spell features a £40 million purchase option.
