The Story in 60 Seconds

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta faces the challenge of getting consistent output from attacker Eberechi Eze following his £67.5 million transfer from Tottenham Hotspur. The 28-year-old has yet to start a Premier League match in the current campaign, playing only 233 minutes across all competitions. His recent struggles also extend to international duty, where Morgan Gibbs-White came off the bench ahead of him in England's 3-2 Nations League loss to Spain.

Eze has failed to secure the left-wing role following the exits of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, with Christos Tzolis claiming the spot. Statistically, Eze has recorded zero shots on target this season and averages 1.16 chances created per 90 minutes, falling behind both Tzolis and Martin Odegaard.
