Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze has assured fans that he is fully committed to giving his all for the club this season.
The England international sealed a long-anticipated switch to the Emirates in mid-August after Arsenal beat city rivals Tottenham Hotspur to his signature.
Since then, his rise has continued, with the 26-year-old earning a starting role in England’s 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.
In a chat with Independent, Eze expressed delight at finally joining the Gunners, stressing that he had always trusted the process.
“Worried? No. Because I play football. That’s what I do and wherever I am, I want to be the best I can be and I’m confident I’ll do that wherever I am.
“I’m grateful that it’s Arsenal and that I’ve got the opportunity to play there and do what I do and I’m looking forward to it. I was trying to [take it all in] because as you know, you have that moment and then that it’s, gone.
“I was just there, looking at the crowd and watching everything happen and it was a cool moment, more for my family, seeing what it meant to them. I think that’s the special thing for me.
“For me, now, I’m just excited to play, excited to do my thing on the pitch, to work hard, apply myself and get to doing what I do. There’s been a lot of noise off the pitch but I just want to get down and play.
“And it’s not everyone that gets to experience these types of moments but yeah, I try to enjoy it and take it in my stride as much as possible because there’s always something that is coming. There is always another opportunity and challenge coming so that’s how I see it.”
