Eberechi Eze’s England Strike Reignites Debate Over His Best Role at Arsenal

His Wembley cameo highlighted a versatile skill set shaped by Mikel Arteta and Thomas Tuchel.

Overview

  • Eze came off the bench to score in England’s 2-0 win over Serbia at Wembley, strengthening his case for World Cup selection.
  • Since joining Arsenal from Crystal Palace in the summer, he has largely been used as a central No. 8 during Martin Ødegaard’s injury absence.
  • Analysts argue Arteta should shift him to an inverted left-wing role once Ødegaard returns, citing his impact from that channel for club and country.
  • Eze has delivered early end product for Arsenal, including a winner against Crystal Palace and three assists in all competitions.
  • He says working under Arteta and England boss Tuchel has sharpened his intensity and decision-making, and he emphasizes he can contribute across multiple attacking positions.
